Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(4-dodecyloxyphenyl)oxalamic acid ethyl ester (10 g, 0.026 mol), 4-phenoxyaniline (5 g, 0.026 mol) and lithium t-butoxide (0.2 g, 0.0026 mol) in xylene (50 mL) isheated to gentle reflux. A distillate of ethanol/xylene is slowly collected; the reaction volumn is kept at 50 mL by adding xylene. Heating and distillation continued for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled, the solids are collected and washed sequentially with warm ethyl acetate, ethanol, water and finally ethanol. There is obtained 11.5 g white solid mp: 179–181.
