Water → N-Cyclohexylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cyclohexylamine (8.5 mL, 0.1 mole) was added drop wise to a solution of benzoylchloride (1.17 mL, 10 mmol) in 35 mL of dry THF at 0° C. The reaction was then stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After that time water was added and the mixture was poured onto crushed ice. A white solid precipitated. It was collected by filtration and rinsed thoroughly with water. The solid was then dried under vacuum (1.63 g, 80%). NMR 1H (ppm, CDCl3): 7.72 (d, J3=6.78 Hz, 2H), 7.48-7.36 (m, 3H), 6.02 (br. d., J3=6.58 Hz, 1H), 4.00-3.89 (m, 1H), 2.03-1.99 (m, 2H), 1.79-1.71 (m, 3H), 1.44-1.37 (m, 2H), 1.25-1.15 (m, 3H).
