Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-methyl benzylamine (600 mg, 5 mmol) and triethylamine (1.5 ml, 10 mmol) in anhydrous THF (15 ml), was slowly added 3-nitro benzoyl chloride (1 g, 5.4 mmol) and stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated to give a residue which was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed thoroughly with water. The organic layer was dried and evaporated to give N-benzyl-N-methyl-3-nitro-benzamide (350 mg, 27%) as solid.
