Condensation reactions at the methylene group of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-pyrrolin-2-one and 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-pyrrolin-2-onium perchlorate

The interaction has been investigated of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)pyrrolin-2-one with aromatic aldehydes in acetic anhydride in the presence of catalytic amounts of pyridine. 1-(4-Nitrophenyl)pyrrolinium perchlorate has been synthesized and was put into a condensation reaction with aromatic aldehydes. As a result 5-arylidene-1-(4-nitrophenyl)pyrrolin-2-onium perchlorates were obtained.
