Methylamine → N-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-4-(methylamino)methylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Chloromethyl-N-(2-methoxyphenyl)benzamide (400 mg, 1.45 mmol) was dissolved in dioxane (4 ml) and then mixed with 50% methylamine aqueous solution (4 ml) at room temperature. After 1 hour of stirring at the same temperature, dioxane was removed by evaporation, and the resulting residue was diluted with methylene chloride (10 ml). After drying on anhydrous sodium carbonate, the solvent was removed by evaporation to obtain 500 mg (100%) of the title compound in the form of colorless oil.
