Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 22667768, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Cyanobenzoyl chloride (4.50 g) was added to a stirred suspension of methyl 5-amino-2-methylbenzoate (J. Med. Chem., 1991, 34, 2176-2186; 3 g), triethylamine (2.54 ml) and methylene chloride (100 ml) and the resultant mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was acidified by the addition of 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes. The resultant solid was isolated and dried under vacuum at 40° C. to give methyl 5-(4-cyanobenzamido)-2-methylbenzoate (5.32 g); NMR Spectrum: (DMSOd6) 2.47 (s, 3H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 7.31 (d, 1H), 7.88 (d, 1H), 8.0 (d, 2H), 8.1 (d, 2H), 8.27 (s, 1H), 10.57 (s, 1H); Mass Spectrum: M+H+ 295.
