O-Toluidine → 4-[(6,11-Dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,e]azepin-5-yl)-carbonyl]-N-(2-methylphenyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 0.362 g of 4-[(6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,e]azepin-5-yl)carbonyl]benzoyl chloride and 0.101 g of triethylamine in 5 ml of dichloromethane is added a solution of 0.129 g of 2-methylaniline in 3 ml of dichloromethane. The mixture is stirred 1.5 hr at room temperature and then washed with H2O 1N HCl 1M NAHCO3, brine and dried (Na2SO4). The solvent is removed to give a solid. The solid is dissolved in dichloromethane and filtered through a thin pad of hydrous magnesium silicate with dichloromethane as eluent to give 0.025 g of crystals, m.p. 214°-216° C.
