Abstract:

The synthesis and characterization of 4'-[5-(4-carboxylphenylfuran)-2-yl)]-2, 2':6', 2″-terpyridine is an exploratory experiment completed by senior undergraduates. 4-(5-formylfuran-2-yl) benzoic acid was obtained with furfural and 4-aminobenzoic acid as raw materials by a coupled reaction at low temperature. The target compound was obtained with 4-(5-formylfuran-2-yl) benzoic acid and 2-acetylpyridine in the presence of ammonium hydroxide and characterized by melting point, IR and 1H NMR measurements. It is proposed as an organic chemistry experiment as it contains coupling reaction of aromatic rings, synthesis of α, β-unsaturated ketone, Michael addition reaction which would be beneficial for training of students.

Key words: Terpyridine, Infrared spectrum, 1H NMR spectroscopy, Coupling reaction, Michael addition
