Benzoyl chloride, 3-nitro- → 3-Nitro-N-(3-pyridinylmethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred two-phase solution of 3-nitrobenzoyl chloride (9.3 g) in a mixture of diethyl ether (50 ml) and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (50 ml) was added 3-aminomethylpyridine (5.4 g) in an ice-cooled bath. The mixture was stirred vigorously at ambient temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the resulting solid was washed with water. The solid was further solidified with diisopropyl alcohol-water to afford 3-nitro-N-(3-pyridylmethyl)benzamide (5.91 g) as a pale yellow amorphous solid.
