Benzoyl chloride → N-(5-chloro-2-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-nitrophenylamine (0.560 g, 3.00 mmol) and benzoyl chloride (0.422 g, 3.00 mmol) in toluene (15 mL) was heated under reflux for 1.5 h, and cooled to room temperature. A solid crystallized from the reaction mixture upon cooling, and was isolated by vacuum filtration and dried to provide the title compound as a gray solid (0.276 g, 32%).
