Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-cyanobenzoyl chloride (10.0 g, 60.4 mmol), triethylamine (12.6 mL, 90.6 mmol), and methylene chloride (120 mL) was added 2-nitroaniline (8.30 g, 60.4 mmol) followed by 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (738 mg, 6.04 mmol). After stirring for 24 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography (silica gel, 30% ethyl acetate/70% hexanes to 50% ethyl acetate/50% hexanes) yielded 17.1 g (99%) of the title compound as a yellow solid.
