Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 48 g (0.36 mole) of 2-methylbenzamide, 74 g (0.36 mole) of phosphorus pentachloride and 500 ml of AR carbon tetrachloride was heated at 60°-70° for 30 min. at which time the HCl gas evolution had ceased. The solution was cooled to 30° and 16.9 g (0.36 mole) of 97% formic acid added dropwise. Stirring was continued following the addition for 40-50 min. The product was colleted, washed with AR carbon tetrachloride and air-dried to give 56 g, m.p. 91°-93°.
