Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 12833269, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

77 g (0.27 mol) of N-(3-nitro-4,6-dimethylphenyl)-δ-chlorovaleroylamide are stirred vigorously in a mixture of 50 ml of tetrahydrofurane and 500 ml of 22% strength aqueous sodium hydroxide solution for 5 hours at 60°-65°. The reaction mixture is diluted with water, cooled and acidified with hydrochloric acid. The product which has precipitated is washed until neutral and dried in a desiccator at 70°. This gives 62.8 g (93%); melting point 134°-135°.
