Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.98 g (7.5 mmol) of the anilinosuccinimide prepared in Example 1 above and 1.96 g (22.5 mmol) of MnO2 in 45 mL of toluene is refluxed for six hours. The mixture is filtered, while hot, and the resulting solid is heated in another 50 mL of boiling toluene and filtered again while hot. Cooling the combined toluene filtrates gives 450 mg of the title product as yellow-orange needles. Concentration of the toluene solution gives another 360 mg; m.p. 228°-233° C. (lit (7) m.p. 230°-230.5° C.).
