Ammonia → HCID 13754320, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 10ml of acetic acid was dissolved 0.6 g of 1-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-propanedione and then after adding thereto 0.3 g of benzaldehyde and 2.2 g of ammonium acetate, the mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue formed was mixed with 20 ml of water, neutralized by the addition of concentration aqueous ammonia, and extracted with chloroform. The extract was dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crystals thus formed were purified by silica gel column chromatography using chloroform as the eluent and recrystallized from aqueous ethanol to provide 0.3 g of 4-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-methyl-2-phenylimidazole.
