4-Fluoroaniline → Benzoic acid, 2-[[[(4-fluorophenyl)amino]acetyl]amino]-

Participants

Reaction Steps

N(chloroacetyl)anthranilic acid 4.0 g (8 mmol) and p-fluoroaniline 5.3 ml (56 mmol) were dissolved in 4 ml of dimethylformamide and heated at 80° to 90° C. for 4 hours. The reaction solution was poured into ice water and deposited crystals were collected by filtration. These crystals were washed with ether and recrystallized from ethanol to obtain N-[(4-fluorophenylamino)acetyl]anthranilic acid (melting point: 217° to 219° C.) 2.4 g (yield: 46%).
