참여 물질

반응 단계

To a 1 liter flask equipped with drying tube, condenser and overhead stirrer is charged 0.13 moles of caprolactam, 0.16 moles of triethylamine and 150 ml of dioxane. The resultant solution is heated to reflux, and a solution of 0.13 moles of 4-butoxybenzoyl chloride in 50 ml of dioxane is added over 15 minutes. The mixture is refluxed with stirring for 3 hours followed by stirring at room temperature for a further 18 hours. The mixture is filtered, and the solvent removed by rotary evaporation leaving a brown oil which is recrystallized from 25 ml of carbon tetrachloride to yield 0.73 moles of 4-butoxybenzoyl caprolactam which NMR shows to be 90% pure. The 4-butoxybenzoyl caprolactam has a melting point of approximately 87-92° C. 1H NMR reveals 0.9 ppm (t, 3H); 1.2-1.8 ppm (m, 12H); 2.7 ppm (m, 2H); 3.8 ppm (m, 2H); 4 ppm (t, 2H); 6.9 ppm (d, 2H); 7.5 ppm (d, 2H). 13C NMR provides 14 ppm (s); 20 ppm (s); 24 ppm (s); 29 ppm (d); 31 ppm (s); 39 ppm (s); 46 ppm (s); 68 ppm (s); 114 ppm (s); 128 ppm (s); 131 ppm (s); 162 ppm (s); 174 ppm (s); 178 ppm (s). IR (cm−1) at 2933, 1677, 1604, 1254.
