Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Rhodanine (2.2 g; 16.5 mmol), 1.3 ml of concentrated ammonium hydroxide and 1 g of ammonium chloride in 20 ml of ethanol were heated on a steam bath for 15 minutes. 4-Quinoline carboxaldehyde (2.6 g; 16.5 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was heated on the steam bath for another hour. Upon cooling to 5° C. a precipitate formed. This precipitate was recovered by filtration and then washed with water to provide 4 g of title compound, m.p. 325°-328° C.
