Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[(2-nitro-phenylamino)-methyl]-phenylbenzamide (14) (74.9 mmol) in anhydrous EtOH and anhydrous DMF (75 mL) was slowly added sodium methoxide (30% w/w) (375 mmol) at room temperature under argon atmosphere, followed by heating to 60° C. for 2 h. After cooling to ambient termperature, the solution was diluted with water (700 mL) and then acidified with saturated citric acid. The resulting precipitate was collected on a sintered funnel while rinsing with water. The crude product was recrystallized in hot EtOH.
