Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the benzamide compound (11.5 g, prepared in Reference example 6) in 100 mL of toluene was added 95% sodium methoxide (5.7 g). The solution was heated at 60°-80° C. for three hours under nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was diluted with ammonium chloride solution. After stirring for one-half hour, the mixture was filtered. An NMR of the filtered material indicated the reaction was incomplete. The material was taken up in toluene and ethanol and 95% sodium methoxide (5.7 g) was added. The resulting solution was heated to reflux and stirred via a mechanical stirrer, under nitrogen atmosphere, overnight. The solvent had evaporated and the concentrate in the flask was collected and washed with ammonium chloride solution and methylene chloride. The solid material was collected by filtration and allowed to dry to give the title compound as a gray powder having the following physical data.
