Dicyclohexylamine → HCID 19762694, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a round bottom flask, there are introduced 4.96g (20 mmoles) of 3-(1-methylcyclohexyl)-4-methoxy benzoic acid, 75 ml of dichloromethane, and 4ml (20 mmoles) of dicyclohexylamine. The reaction mixture is stirred for 1 hour. To the resulting solution, there are added 1.45 ml (20 mmoles) of thionyl chloride (SOCl2 and the mixture is stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture is then evaporated to dryness and taken up in 200 ml of ether. The dicyclohexyl-ammonium chloride is filtered off and the solvent is evaporated, yielding 5.30 g (100% yield) of crude 3-(1-methylcyclohexyl)-4-methoxy benzoyl chloride which is used, as is, for the following synthesis:
