Reaction Steps

In an Erlenmeyer flask of 250 ml, 1 gr (0.072 mol) of n-hexylaminoacetonitrile, 1.22 gr (0.072 mol) of dehydrated cupric chloride and 100 ml of H2O were added. Ethanol was then added until obtention of a homogenous phase. The pH of the solution was adjusted to 10 by means of 1N NaOH and the reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hours at room temperature,; a purple solid was formed and was filtered, resuspended in ammoniac solution and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase was three times washed with water, dried on K2CO3 and evaporated. The residue was recrystallized from cyclohexane.
