Participants

Reaction Steps

1.06 g of 3-aminobenzaldehyde dimethyl acetal was dissolved in a mixture of 5 ml of toluene and 10 ml of water containing 0.8 g of sodium hydroxide, and 5 ml of a toluene solution of 1.3 g of benzoyl chloride was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The organic layer was separated, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in a mixture of 10 ml of methanol and 10 ml of 10% hydrochloric acid, and heated at 90° C. for 30 minutes. Water (20 ml) was added to the reaction mixture to allow it to cool. There was obtained 1.16 g (yield 87.3%) of 3-benzoylaminobenzaldehyde as colorless needles having a melting point of 122° to 123° C.
