Reaction Steps

m-Nitroaniline, 10.0 g (0.072 mole), is dissolved in 150 ml dichloroethane, containing 25 ml pyridine. The solution is stirred at room temperature while nonanoyl chloride, 12.9 g (0.073 mole), is added slowly. The solution is stirred for 2 hours. Excess pyridine is removed by washing the product with 4N hydrochloric acid. The product is then passed through a florisil column and crystallized at -20° C. There is obtained N-(3-nitrophenyl) nonanamide (M.P. 63.0°-63.5° C.). Analysis shows 9.88% nitrogen as against a calculated value of 10.06% for C15H21N2O3.
