Isatoic Anhydride → 2-amino-N-[1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-ethyl]-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of isatoic anhydride (500 mg, 3.07 mmol) and 1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-ethylamine (530 mg, 3.68 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) is added diisopropyl ethyl amine (1.2 mL, 6.89 mmol). The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and is washed with H2O (50 mL×3). The organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and the resulting residue is purified by flash chromatography with 25% EtOAc in Hexane as the eluent to afford the desired to afford the desired 2-amino-N-[1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-ethyl]-benzamide (115 mg, 14%).
