3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenol → N-cyclohexyl-N-cyclopentyl-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenoxy)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction and workup were carried out in the same manner as described in Example 1 using p-bromobenzoic acid N-cyclopentyl-N-cyclohexyl amide (2.285 g, 6.52 mmol), 3,4,5-trimethoxy phenol (1.199 g, 6.51 mmol) and cuprous oxide (486 mg, 3.40 mmol) in 2,4,6-collidine (15 ml). The crude product was chromatographed on silica gel using mixtures of ethyl acetate and hexane as eluents to give the title compound as a crystalline solid that could be recrystallized from ethyl acetate and hexane, m. pt. 166.16° C. (DSC).
