Chloroacetyl chloride → HCID 14722531, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 20 parts of 2,6-dimethyl-4-(phenylmethoxy)benzenamine and 270 parts of methylbenzene were added portionwise 10.9 parts of 2-chloroacetyl chloride (exothermic reaction, the temperature rose to 30° C.). Upon complete addition, the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at reflux temperature. After cooling, the precipitated product was filtered off and dried, yielding 23.8 parts (89%) of 2-chloro-N-[2,6-dimethyl-4-(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]acetamide; mp. 165.3° C. (int. 71).
