Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic anhydride (10 mL) is treated with N-(2,6-dichloro-4-aminophenyl)-3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxybenzamide (0.8 g), and the reaction mixture is stirred for 2 hours and left to stand overnight. It is then poured into water (100 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and then with dichloromethane (100 mL). The organic extracts are combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated, to give N-(4-acetylamino-2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxybenzamide (0.4 g), m.p. 250-252° C. [Elemental analysis: C, 57.6; H, 5.05; N, 6.3; Cl, 16.1%; calculated: C, 57.5; H, 5.1; N, 6.4; Cl, 16.2%].
