2-(Trifluoromethyl)aniline → N-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]cyclohexanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-trifluoromethylaniline (3 mL), triethylamine (3.5 mL) and CH2Cl2 (30 mL) was stirred at room temperature under N2 and added dropwise with cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride (3.34 mL). After 2.5 h stirring at room temperature, the mixture was poured into H2O and alkalinized with 1 N NaOH. The organic phase was dried on anhydrous Na2SO4 and the crude was crystallized from EtOH to give 3.82 g (59%) of the title compound. M.p. 153-154° C.
