Sodium Carbonate → 3-[[2-[2-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)ethylamino]-2-oxoethyl]amino]benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 3.0 g of 2-(3-carbamoylphenylamino)-N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)acetamide hydrochloride were added 20 ml of a 5% aqueous sodium carbonate solution and 125 ml of chloroform, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature until the crystals of the above hydrochloride was completely dissolved. The chloroform layer was separated, washed with water, dried and the solvent was evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from a mixture of methanol and diethyl ether to obtain 2.3 g of 2-(3-carbamoylphenylamino)-N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)acetamide having a melting point of 133°-135° C.
