Dicyclohexylamine → p-Acetoxybenzoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.1 ml (5.6 mmol) of dicyclohexylamine are added to 1 g (5.6 mmol) of 4-acetoxybenzoic acid placed in 10 ml of dichloromethane, and the solution is stirred at room temperature for minutes. 400 μl (5.6 mmol) of thionyl chloride are added and this mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction medium is diluted with ethyl ether. The precipitate is filtered off and rinsed with ethyl ether. Concentration of the filtrate gives the 4-acetoxybenzoyl chloride.
