Carbon Tetrachloride → 2-Hydroxy-N-(1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g of thionyl chloride was added dropwise to the mixture of 10 g of N-(1-hydroxy-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide, 50 ml of carbon tetrachloride and 0.1 g of N,N-dimethylformamide under stirring. After effecting the reaction under reflux for one hour, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain N-(1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide (m.p.: 113°-113.5° C.). Without taking out the compound thus resulted, thereto were added 50 ml of acetone and also 7.2 g of octyl thioglycolate (n), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour. The solvent was distilled off and the rest was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 3.0 g of N-(1-n-octyloxycarbonylmethylthio-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide as a light yellow oily substance. nD25 1.5031
