Water → N-(3-chloro-4-difluoromethoxyphenyl)-1-methylcyclopropanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-chloro-4-difluoromethoxyaniline (1.95 g) in methylene chloride (50 ml), triethylamine (1.1 g) was added, and a solution of 1-methylcyclopropanecarbonyl chloride (1.2 g) in methylene chloride was dropwise added while cooling with ice-water. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, admixed with water and extracted with ether. The extract was washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid, sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give crude crystals (2.6 g). Recrystallization from ethanol gave N-(3-chloro-4-difluoromethoxyphenyl)-1-methylcyclopropanecarboxamide (2.2 g). M.P., 59°-60° C.
