Formic Acid → HCID 374038, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

10 gm of 3-aminobenzamide and 80 ml of 98 to 100% formic acid were refluxed for 60 minutes. The formic acid was removed by evaporation under vacuum; the residual oily product was mixed with water and evaporated to yield a solid residue. This solid was crystallized from water to give 8.2 gm (yield=68%) of white, round crystals with a melting point of 176° C. to 177° C. Mass spectrum analysis indicated a molecular weight of 164.
