Hydrochloric Acid → N-phenyl 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxyl]-2-nitrobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoyl chloride (5.68 g, 0.015 mole) in toluene (35 ml) was added aniline (2.8 g, 0.30 mole). The temperature immediately rose to 45° C. The reaction was then heated to reflux for twelve hours. The cooled reaction was poured into dilute hydrochloric acid solution. The residual solids were filtered, washed with warm water and dried to give 4.1 g of a gray solid m.p. 190°-4° C. Recrystallization from methanol gave 3.8 g, m.p. 191°-4° C.
