Application
TCI Practical Example: Synthesis of Amide via the Meervein-Ponndolf-Verley Type Reaction Using tBuOK
-
Used Chemicals
-
Procedure
-
To a solution of benzyl alcohol (540 mg, 5.0 mmol), benzonitrile (1.03 g, 10 mmol, 2.0 eq.) in 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) was added potassium tert-butoxide (1.12 g, 10.0 mmol, 2.0 eq.) at r.t. and the mixture was stirred at 130 °C for overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (on silica gel, ethyl acetate:hexane = 0:1 - 1:2) several times, giving N-benzylbenzamide as a white solid (513 mg, 49% yield).
-
Experimenter’s Comments
-
The reaction mixture was monitored by UPLC.
The reaction was carried out using a pressure-resistant test tube.
Purification by column chromatography was performed several times.
