Benzoyl chloride → HCID 21873086, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzoyl chloride (4.7g) in acetone (5ml) was added dropwise to a solution of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-amino-2-(chloroacetamido)ethane (8g) in acetone (50ml) containing triethylamine (3.4g). The temperature rose to 50°. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The salt was filtered off and the filtrate poured into water. The solid formed was collected, washed with water and dried (10g). Recrystallisation from nitromethane gave pure 1,1,1-trichloro-2-benzamido-2-(chloroacetamido)ethane (8.7g. m.p. 211°-213°).
