4-Isopropylaniline → N-(4-isopropylphenyl)-8-nitrochroman-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8-nitrochroman-4-carboxylic acid (3.0 g) and 4-isopropylaniline (2.0 g) in dimethylformamide (30 mL) were added N-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (2.0 g) and 1-ethyl-3-(3′-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (2.8 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give N-(4-isopropylphenyl)-8-nitrochroman-4-carboxamide (4.1 g).
