Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture consisting of 77 g of 2-(4-nitrophenoxy)-1-methylethyl-p-toluenesulfonate, 45 g of potassium salt of phthalimide and N,N-dimethylformamide was heated at 110° C. for 3 hr. with stirring. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate; the extract was washed consecutively with water and saturated saline, and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was thereafter distilled off under reduced pressure; the residue was dissolved in ethanol and left standing overnight in refrigirator. Crystals thus isolated were filtered off, dried, and yielded 38.5 g of N-{2-(4-nitrophenoxy)-1-methylethyl}phthalimide in crystalline form.
