Cyclohexylamine → 4-(Chloromethyl)-N-cyclohexylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-chloromethylbenzoyl chloride (1.03 g, 5.47 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) at 0° C., add with stirring triethylamine (0.839 mL, 6.02 mmol) followed by cyclohexylamine (0.688 mL, 6.02 mmol), and continue stirring for 15 min. Dilute the reaction mixture with aqueous 1M hydrochloric acid, extract three times with EtOAc, wash with water and saturated aqueous NaHCO3. Dry the combined organic extracts over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrate in vacuo to give the title compound as a white solid (1.31 g, 95%).
