Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of tert-butyl (2-(4-acetamidobenzamido)phenyl) carbamate 1.5 (3.5 g, 9.5 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (55 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (22 mL) dropwise. The mixture was allowed to slowly warm to 23° C. for 2 hours until the reaction was complete. The solvents were removed in vacuo. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and the pH was adjusted to ˜8 with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with water and ether, and dried under vacuum to afford 4-acetamido-N-(2-aminophenyl)benzamide 1.6 as an off-white solid. Yield 1.6=2.4 g (96%).
