Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1.5 g of 3-(benzoylamino)benzoic acid in 10 ml of toluene, 2 ml of thionyl chloride was added, and the mixture was stirred under reflux conditions for 2 hours. After the mixture was returned to room temperature, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give 1.53 g (yield 95%) of the title compound as a white solid.
