Phenethylamine → 5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-(2-phenylethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.0 g phenethylamine, 5.0 g 5-chloro-2-methoxy-benzoic acid, and 2.72 ml triethylamine were dissolved in 100 ml dimethylformamide. 8.80 g O-((Ethoxycarbonyl)cyanomethyleneamino)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate were added portionwise. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for three hours. 300 ml ethyl acetate were added and the mixture was washed three times with portions of 50 ml saturated NaHCO3 solution and brine. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and then the solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain 6.5 g 5-Chloro-2-methoxy-N-phenethyl-benzamide.
