Benzoyl chloride → HCID 23085720, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (116 ml, 0.835 mol) and DMAP (2.0 g, 0.016 mol) are added to 2-amino-5-nitrobenzonitrile (68 g, 0.33 mol) in dichloromethane (1 litre). The mixture is cooled to +5° C., and benzoyl chloride (38.8 ml, 0.33 mol) in dichloromethane (50 ml) is added. The resulting mixture is stirred for 2 hours and then concentrated. The residue is taken up in 10/1 water/ethanol (550 ml) and the product is filtered off and recrystallized from isopropyl ether. Yield: 88.5 g (97%); IR (KBr): 3375, 3213, 1638, 1547, 1319 cm−1; 1H-NMR (d6-DMSO) 8.15 (m, 1H); 7.85 (m, 4H); 7.51 (m, 4H); 6.68 (m, 3H); 4.30 (m, 2H).
