Pyridine → HCID 532828, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-chloroaniline (8.3 ml, 78.4 mmol), DMAP (1.0 g, 7.8 mmol), and pyridine (6.9 ml, 86.2 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (150 ml) at 0° C., was added 3-phenylpropionyl chloride (12.8 ml, 86.2 mmol). The mixture was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred under N2 overnight. Excess DCM was added to the reaction mixture. The organic layer was washed with 1N HCl (3×), saturated NaHCO3 (3×), brine, dried over MgSO4, and the solvent was removed in vacuo to yield 21.6 g of N-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpropanamide 21 as a peach colored crude solid.
