2-amino-N-(4-isopropylphenyl)benzamide → HCID 46841009, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-N-(4-isopropylphenyl)benzamide (0.400 g, 1.57 mmol) and 4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde (0.30 g, 1.57 mmol) in anhydrous ethanol (20 mL) was added anhydrous copper (II) chloride (0.63 g, 4.71 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 4 hours under nitrogen. The solvent was removed and the residue was diluted with dichloromethane (150 mL) and water (100 mL). The organic phase was separated and further washed with water (100 mL), brine (100 mL), and dried over sodium sulfate. The crude mixture was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (230-400 mesh) using hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) as eluent to give the title compound as a white solid. Yield: 100 mg (15.6%). MP 160-162° C. 1H-NMR (400 Hz, CDCl3): δ 8.34 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.80 (m, 2H), 7.52 (m, 1H), 7.17 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.05 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 6.97 (s, 2H), 3.90 (m, 2H), 3.78 (t, J=4.8 Hz, 2H), 2.86 (m, 1H), 2.13 (s, 6H), 2.06 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 1H), 1.20 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 3H). MS (ES+) m/z: 429.52 (M+1).
