Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium methoxide (4.9 mmol) was added to a stirring solution of 4-(N,N-di-tolylamino)benzaldehyde (3.78 mmol) and diethyl 4-(N,N-di-tolylamino)-benzylphosphonate (3.78 mmol) in 15 mL of DMF at 25° C. The mixture stirred for 4 h at 25° C., producing a yellow precipitate. The solid was collected, and then slurried in warm water. The solid was collected again, and crystallized from ethanol/toluene to yield 1.5 g of the stilbene, (E)-4,4′-bis-(N,N-di-tolylamino)stilbene (Inv-5). H1 NMR and mass spectra data were consistent with the structure.
