Reaction Steps

A solution of 10.8 g. (0.05 mole) of 2-phenacylcyclohexanone, 6.85 g. (0.05 mole) of m-aminobenzoic acid and 30 ml. of glacial acetic acid was heated under reflux for 6 hours, cooled and filtered. The filter cake was washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol to provide 5.7 g. (36%) of crystals, m.p. 191°-193°.
