Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzoyl chloride (4.2 g, 30 mmol) is added to a suspension of 1-hydroxycyclopropylammonium chloride (2.67 g, 24.5 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran. Triethylamine (6.5 g, 65 mmol) is added dropwise with stirring and ice-cooling (1 hr). The precipitate is filtered off and washed with tetrahydrofuran. The filtrate obtained is evaporated in vacuo. The crystalline residue is recrystallised from chloroform yielding N-(1-hydroxycyclopropyl)-benzamide, mp 153°-155° (3.0 g, 69%); NMR=δCDCl 3=0.87-1.38 (m, 4H), 4.7 (br. s, 1H), 7.3-7.9 (m, 6H, incl. NH).
