Acetic Anhydride → N-(3,5-Dichlorophenyl)glutarimide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture comprising 27.6 g. of N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl) glutaric acid monoamide, 50 g. of acetic anhydride and 1 g. of anhydrous sodium acetate was fed to a 100 ml. four-necked flask and was heated with stirring at 80° - 90° C. for 1 hour. Thereafter, the acetic acid and acetic anhydride were removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and the residue was washed with water and then dried to obtain 24.8 g. of the above-mentioned compound in the form of white crystals, m.p. 172.5° - 174.5° C.
