Triethylamine → N,N-Dimethyl-4-nitro-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride (7.20 g, 38.8 mmol) and dimethylamine hydrochloride (3.20 g, 39.2 mmol) in 100 mL DCM is added triethyl amine (14.0 mL, 99.6 mmol) at 0° C. The cooling bath is removed and the reaction mixture is stirred overnight at RT. Then 300 mL DCM is added and the reaction mixture is washed with 50% saturated aqueous ammonium chloride, water, 50% saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and 0.1 M aqueous NaOH. The organic phase is dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Yield: 5.37 g.
