Benzoyl chloride → 3-cyano-N-[4-(benzoylamino)-benzyl]-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.6 g (4.2 mmol) of benzoylchloride in 10 ml of methylene chloride is added dropwise to a solution of 1 g (4 mmol) of 3-cyano-N-(4-amino-benzyl)-benzamide and 0.6 g (6 mmol) of triethylamine in 30 ml of methylene chloride at ambient temperature. After 8 hours at ambient temperature the product which has crystallised out is dissolved in methylene chloride and methanol. After extraction with water the combined organic extracts are dried and evaporated down.
