Participants

Reaction Steps

3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzoyl chloride (5.0 g, 21.7 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (50 ml). The reaction mixture was cooled with an ice-bath and benzylamine (4.74 ml, 43.4 mmol) was added slowly. The solid material was removed by filteration. The filtrate was poured into 30 ml of water. The organic phase was washed several times with water. The crude product was recrystallized from i-propanol.
