Benzoyl chloride, 3-nitro- → HCID 46561113, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an inert atmosphere, to a stirred solution of methyl 4-(aminomethyl)benzoate (50 g, 0.436 mol) and TEA (210 mL, 1.5 mol) in anhydrous DCM (1.0 L) was added a solution of freshly prepared 3-nitro benzoyl chloride (0.59 mol) in DCM (250 mL). The resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 2 hrs. The reaction was quenched with a 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydrogenocarbonate. The organic layer was washed with a 1.5N HCl solution and water. After drying over MgSO4 and evaporation of the solvent in vacuo, a solid was obtained and purified by flash chromatography to give the title compound (50 g) in a 52% yield as a white powder.
