4-Nitroaniline → N-(4-nitrophenyl)butanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-nitro aniline (1.01 g, 7.23 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (20 mL) was added NMM (0.95 mL, 8.68 mmol). To the reaction mixture was added dropwise butyryl chloride (1.00 mL, 8.68 mmol) at 0° C. After stirring for 0.5 h, the reaction was extracted with CH2Cl2 (20 mL), washed with H2O (30 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated in vacuo to give N-(4-Nitrophenyl)butyramide (1.50 g, 100%) as a white solid.
