Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Ethyl-2-methylcycloheptanecarbonyl chloride (1.5 g, 0.007 mole) in ether (10 ml.) was added to a stirred solution of p-anisidine (0.01 mole) in ether (30 ml.). A further quantity of ether (100 ml.) was added and the solution was washed with dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sodium hydroxide and then with water. The ether solution was dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was removed by distillation. The residue was recrystallised from 40-60 petroleum ether to give N-(p-Methoxyphenyl)-1-ethyl-2-methylcyclohexanecarboxamide, mp. 107°.
