Participants

Reaction Steps

Procedure as described for Amidine X using the following amounts: 6.00 mL of 2-n-propylaniline (42.6 mmol); 21.3 mL of 2.0 M butyllithium (42.6 mmol); 5.00 g of toluonitrile (42.6 mmol). Filtration of the final pentane solution yielded 9.53 g (89%) of light yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 7.76 (d, 2H), 7.22 (m, 3H), 7.15 (t, 1H), 6.99 (t, 1 H), 6.84 (d, 1 H), 4.69 (s, 2H), 2.51 (t, 2H), 2.39 (s, 3H), 1.58 (m, 2H), 0.90 (t, 3H).
