Benzamide → N-(2-methoxyphenyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using general procedure A, benzamide (150 mg, 1.24 mmol) was coupled with 2-iodoanisole (135 μL, 1.04 mmol) at 40° C. for 18 h. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (2×15 cm; hexane-ethyl acetate 3:1; 15 mL fractions). Fractions 8–12 provided 49 mg (21% yield) of the product as a colorless oil. The 1H NMR spectrum was in accord with that reported by Narasaka et al. Tsutsi, H.; Ichikawa, T.; Narasaka, K. Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 1999, 72, 1869.
