4-Chlorobenzoyl chloride → 4-chloro-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride (0.114 mol) in 50 ml dry CH2Cl2 is added over 30 min to a stirred solution of 2-aminomethylthiophene (0.137 mol) and iPr2NEt (0.25 mol) in CH2Cl2 (200 ml) at 0° C. A white solid is formed and the reaction is allowed to warm to room temperature over 1 h. The mixture is diluted with 200 ml of CH2Cl2, washed twice with HCl aq. (0.1N) and dried over MgSO4. Evaporation of the solvents afforded 28 g (98%) of the title benzamide as a white solid: mp 153-54° C., 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.9 (d, J=8.67 Hz, 2H), 7.58 (d, J=8.67 Hz, 2H), 7.44 (dd, J=3.77, 1.13 Hz, 1H), 7.22 (d, J=5.27 Hz, 1H), 7.16 (dd, J=3.39, 5.27 Hz, 1H), 6.62 (br d, 1H), 4.98 (d, J=5.65 Hz, 2H).
