Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

After adding 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride (34, 7.534 g, 185.57 mmol) to p-anisidine (33, 5.00 g, 40.60 mmol) dissolved in pyridine (50 mL), the reaction mixture was heated for 2 hours at 100° C. After adding water and aqueous 4 N HCl (300 mL), extracting with ethyl acetate and removing water using sodium sulfate, column chromatography yielded the target compound N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-nitrobenzamide (36, 8.594 g, 78%).
