Acrylonitrile → HCID 22751183, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture consisting of 29.5 gm (0.1 mol) of N-[γ-(p-amino-phenyl)-n-propyl]-N'-phenyl-piperazine (m.p. 102° C), 5.8 gm (0.11 mol) of acrylnitrile and 20 ml of glacial acetic acid was refluxed for 20 hours. Thereafter, the solvent was distilled off in vacuo, and the residue was recrystallized from dilute methanol, yielding 28.3 gm (81.3% of theory) of N-[γ-(p-[β-cyanoethyl-amino]phenyl)-n-propyl]-N'-phenyl-piperazine, M.P. 141°-143° C.
