Procedure

To a suspension of 400 mg of sodium hydride (60% in oil) in 30 ml of dimethylformamide was added 2.00 g of N-acetyl-2-phenoxyaniline at room temperature, followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes. To the solution was added dropwise 1.64 g of 2-chlorobenzyl chloride at room temperature with stirring, followed by stirring for 30 minutes. After addition of ice-water, the reaction mixture was extracted with ether. The extract was washed with 0.5 N hydrochloric acid, a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, successively, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After removal of the drying agent by filtration, the solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; ethyl acetate−hexane=1:4) to give 2.92 g of N-acetyl-N-(2-chlorobenzyl)-2-phenoxyaniline as an oil.
