Isobutylamine → 3,5-bisnitro-N-(2-methylpropyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The general procedure was used with isobutyl amine (14.6 g, 0.200 mole) and 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride (23.0 g, 0.100 mole) in ethyl acetate. Produced 7.28 g (26%) crystals, mp 149°-155° C. Proton NMR (90 MHz) shows resonances at 9.168 ppm (m, 1H; 4-aryl H); 8.955 ppm (d, 2 Hz, 2H; 2,6-aryl H's); 6.526 ppm (bs, 1H; N-H); 3.378 ppm (t, 6.4 Hz, 2H; N-CH2); 2.050 ppm (sep, 7 Hz, 1H; CH); 1.021 ppm (d, 6.2 Hz, 6H; CH3).
