4-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde → HCID 178519078, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-aminoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (894 mg, 6 mmol), isonicotinaldehyde (2.568 g, 24 mmol) and anhydrous sodium sulfate (3.6 g) in anhydrous ethanol (70 mL) was heated to reflux for two days. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to give the crude product. The crude product was washed with petroleum ether to give (E)-4-(pyridin-4-ylmethyleneamino)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (1.1 g, yield 77%) as a white solid. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm): 5.44 (s, 1H), 7.40-7.42 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.59-7.63 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.77-7.79 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 2H), 7.84-7.86 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 8.54 (s, 1H), 8.81-8.82 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 1H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 239(M+1)+.
