Ethylamine → N-ethyl-2-chloro-5-nitrobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Alternatively, 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoyl chloride (10 g, 45.5 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (250 mL) with Amberlyst A-21 ion-exchange resin (17 g) was treated with a 2M ThF solution of ethylamine (45 mL). The mixture was stirred at rt under nitrogen overnight. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated to give N-ethyl-2-chloro-5-nitrobenzamide (9.0 g, 39 mmol, 86% yield) as a yellow solid.
