Triethylamine → N-[5-(3,4,5,6-Tetramethoxy-2-methylbenzyl)-2-(3-pyridyl)benzoyl]-4-trifluoromethylaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(3,4,5,6-Tetramethoxy-2-methylbenzyl)-2-(3-pyridyl)benzoic acid (85 mg, 0.2004 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 ml) were added 4-trifluoromethylaniline (48 mg, 0.2981 mmol), triethylamine (41 mg, 0.4059 mmol) and 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (102 mg, 0.6035 mmol) followed by stirring at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction solution was washed with water and dried and the solvent was evaporated therefrom. The residue was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography (methylene chloride:methanol=95:5) to give the title compound (60 mg, 0.1060 mmol, 53%).
