Participants

Reaction Steps

Concentrated aqueous ammonia (density, 0.88 g/cm3) was added to a solution of 4-iodophenylacetyl chloride (2.80 g) in ether (30 ml) and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 15 minutes. The product, 4-iodophenylacetamide, was obtained as a colourless crystalline solid (2.36 g), m.p: 200-204° C.; NMR: 3.34(2H,s), 6.87(H,bs), 7.44(2H,bs), 7.04-7.68(4H,AB); m/z 262(M+H).
