Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 1485-70-7

The synthetic route of N-Benzylbenzamide has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

Reference of 1485-70-7, In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 1485-70-7, name is N-Benzylbenzamide belongs to amides-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.

Amide 1a (48 mg, 0.25 mmol, 1 equiv), and Selectfluor (221 mg, 0.625 mmol, 2.5 equiv) were dissolved in 5 mL of acetonitrile at room temperature, and CuBr (42.6 mg, 0.3 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was added over a 40 min period in six portions. After all CuBr was added, the resulting mixture was stirred for extra 20 min, and then acetonitrile was evaporated under reduced pressure. Then, 20 mL of a saturated ammonium chloride solution was added into the reaction mixture and extracted by diethyl ether (25 mL × 4), the ether layers were combined and dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the crude product. Silica gel flash chromatography of the crude product (hexanes-ethyl acetate (10:1) to hexanes-ethyl acetate (4:1)) yielded pure imide 2a (45 mg, 0.22 mmol, 88% yield) together with unreacted 1a (3.2 mg, 0.017 mmol, 7%).

The synthetic route of N-Benzylbenzamide has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
