Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of the product obtained in Step 1 (35 g) in 400 ml phosphorus oxychloride, 24 g of N,N-dimethylaniline was dropwise added at room temperature. The mixture was refluxed for two hours, excess phosphorus oxychloride was removed by distillation under normal pressure, and the reddish brown oil left was dissolved in 1.5 liters of chloroform. This solution was slowly poured into 800 ml of ice-cooled saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, the chloroform layer was collected after thorough mixing, and the aqueous layer was again extracted with one liter of fresh chloroform. The organic layers were joined together, washed with 500 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The dried solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to about 100 ml, and 200 ml of n-hexane was added to this concentrate, giving 20 g of the objective compound as faint yellow crystals.
