Benzoyl chloride → Ethyl 3-benzamidobenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 3-aminobenzoate (996 mg) and triethylamine (0.85 ml) in dichloromethane (10 ml) was added benzoyl chloride (0.70 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes, poured into a mixture of ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The resultant solid was collected and washed with isopropyl ether to give ethyl 3-benzoylaminobenzoate (1.36 g).
