Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8.25 g. of ethyl p-aminobenzoate, 5.06 g. of 7-phenylheptylchloride, 3.6 g. of sodium iodide and 25 ml. of hexamethylphosphoramide is heated in an oil bath at 110° C. for 20 hours. The mixture is chilled, diluted with 30 ml. of ethanol-water (1:1) and with water to give crystals, m.p. 65°-67° C. Recrystallization from ethanol gives white crystals, m.p. 66.5°-68° C.
