Triethylamine → n-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-tert-butylbenzoyloxy)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide (0.484 g, 2.00 mmol) in methylene chloride (35 mL) cooled to 0° C. was added 0.28 mL triethylamine (0.28 mL, 2.0 mmol), followed by the dropwise addition of a solution of 4-tert-butylbenzoyl chloride (0.393 mL, 2.00 mmol) in methylene chloride (15 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature over 16 h and washed with cold water. The organic layer was dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Trituration with hexane provided 0.488 g (61%) of the title compound.
