“…NMR D: 1.42 (6H, d, J= 7 Hz), 4.40 (JH, m), 6.96--7.69 (II H,m),Anal,Found: C,77.83;H,6,51;N,10.11 %,Calcd,for C18H18N20: C,77.67;H,6,52; N, 10,06%, (7), A mixture of 4.9 g of 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2.4 g of isopropylamine and 12g of anhydrous MgS04 in 40ml of dichloromethane was refiuxed for 3 hr. The MgS04 was filtered ofT, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, The residue was dissolved in 40 ml of methanol, and to the mixture was added 16 g of anhydrous K 2 C03 and 10 g of TosMIc' After refiuxing for 3 hr, the solvent was evaporated, and 150 ml of water was added to the residue, The precipitate was collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethyl acetate to afford 4.76 g (58,5%) of7, mp 170-172°C, NMR 6: 1.45 (6H,d,J=7Hz),4,50 (lH,m),6,m),7,80 (lH,s),Anal,Found: C,71.16;H,6,81;N,13,83%,Calcd,for C12H14N20: C,71.26;H,6,98;N,13,85%,, To a suspension of 0,2 g of sodium hydride (60% in oil) in 10mi of dimethylformamide at 0-5°C was added 2.2 g of compound 7. and the mixture was stirred for I hr at room temperature. To the ice-cooled mixture was added 1.5 g of benzyl chloride, After stirring for 10 hr at room temperature, 50 ml of water was added to the mixture, and the product was extracted with ether.…”
