Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Nitrobenzoyl chloride (1.03 g, 5.5 mmol) was treated with dimethylamine (40% aqueous solution) (5 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred under Argon for 2 hours, and then extracted with dichloromethane (70 ml). The organic extract was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a pale yellow solid (0.94 g, 87%).
