A mixture of 3.71 mmol (0.98 g) of bibenzil-2,2-di-yl-diisocyanate (1) [1] and 74.16mmol (5.42 g) of redistilled N,N-dimethylformamide (2) was refluxed under stirring for 8 h, with complete absorption of any carbon dioxide in aqueous potassium hydroxide solution [2]. The major portion of the unchanged 2 was removed by vacuum distillation. After cooling the residue is triturated with diethyl ether, and the precipitated solid is recrystallized from ethanol to afford 0.7417 g (62 %) of 3.
M.p.: 222-224°C.
IR (cm-1): 1640; 1590 (C=N); 1510; 1480; 1370 (C-N); 840.
1H NMR (CDCl3): 7.63 (s, 2H, -CH=N); 7.125 (d, 4H, HAr); 6.87 (d, 4H, HAr); 3.12 (s, 12 H, -CH3); 2.95 (s, 4H, >CH2).
Anal. calc. for C20H26N4 (322.457): C 74.50, H 8.13, N 17.37; Found: C 74.28, H 8.13, N 17.52.
