Participants

Reaction Steps

In 10 ml of ethanol and 2 ml of tetrahydrofuran were dissolved 730 mg (1.63 mmol) of 5-[2-(2-benzyloxy-4-dibutylaminophenyl)vinyl]thiophene-2-carboaldehyde and 380 mg (1.5 mmol) of 2-(3-cyano-4,5-dimethyl-5-trifluoromethyl-2(5H)-furanylidene)propanedinitrile. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 19 hours and further stirred with heating at 50° C. for 6 hours. The solvent was evaporated off and the residue was washed with ethanol to give 860 mg of a dark reddish brown crystal (yield: 94.0%; mp: 184-185° C.)
