Benzoyl chloride → N-(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.0 ml (30 mmol) of NEt3 and 4.22 g (30 mmol) of benzoylchloride were added in succession at 0° C. to a solution of 1.86 g (10.0 mmol) of 2-methyl-2-phenylpropylamine hydrochloride in DCM (30 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at RT. It was then diluted with DCM and washed with a 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid, a saturated aqueous Na2CO3 solution and brine. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to small volume under vacuum. 2.48 g (9.8 mmol, 98%) of N-(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl)benzamide were obtained as the residue, which was reacted further with no additional purification.
