3,4-Dimethoxyphenol → N-cyclohexyl-N-cyclopentyl-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenoxy)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 (2.350 g, 6.71 mmol), 3,4-dimethoxy phenol (1.051 g, 6.81mmol) and cuprous oxide (478 mg, 3.34 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. 153.96° C. (DSC).
