Reaction Steps

To a solution of 66.50 g (0.352 mol, 1.0 mol-equiv) 3-chloromethylbenzoylchloride in 400 mL CH2Cl2 at 0°-5° C. under argon was added 47.6 mL (0.704, 2.0 mol-equiv) concentrated aqueous NH4OH over 25 min. The resulting slurry was filtered, washed with water and the product was dried overnight at 50° C. under vacuum to provide 48.59 g (81%) of 3-chloromethylbenzamide.
