p-Toluenesulfonic acid → HCID 10296371, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

m-Iodoaniline (5 mmol, 1.1 g), 2-benzoyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid ethyl ester (5 mmol, 1.2 g), and tosic acid (0.1 g) were combined in ethanol, then heated under reflux. The residual oil was resuspended in methylene chloride, then washed with water, 5% sodium bicarbonate, and brine. The solids were separated, and the solvents removed under vacuum. The resulting solid was recrystallized in ethanol. A portion of the material did not dissolve, and was separated by filtration. Both the recrystallized and filtered material yielded the named product (m.p. 142.6° C.-144° C).
