N,N-Dimethylaniline → HCID 54570148, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture comprising 2.2 g (11 mmol) of 4-benzyloxyaniline, 2.0 g (10 mmol) of 2-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid, 6 ml of N,N-dimethylaniline and 1.6 ml of N,N-diisopropylethylamine was heated at 100° C. for 12 hours under stirring. After cooling, 30 ml of chloroform and 30 ml of 1N sodium hydroxide were added thereto. The precipitate thus formed was separated by filtration, stirred together with 5% hydrochloric acid and washed with water to thereby give 3.3 g of 2-[(4-benzyloxyphenyl)amino]-3-nitrobenzoic acid. This product was added to 40 ml of chloroform and 0.3 ml of N,N-dimethylaniline and 6 ml of phosphorus oxychloride were further added thereto. After heating under reflux for 30 minutes and then cooling, the crystals thus precipitated were separated by filtration. Thus 2.1 g of the title compound was obtained.
