Reaction Steps

In a baked Schlenk tube, 1.0 g (3.4 mmol) of trans-N,N′-bispyridin-2-ylmethylenecyclohexane-1,2-diamine are dissolved in 40 ml of THF and admixed with 431 mg (3.4 mmol) of iron(II) chloride (anhydrous). After 0.5 h, the solution becomes dark blue. After stirring at room temperature for another 2 hours, the solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the residue is stirred with 10 ml of heptane. Filtration through a G3 frit gives the product as a dark blue solid in a yield of 1.41 g (3.36 mmol, 99%).
