N,N'-1,2-Phenylenebis[4-(chloromethyl)benzamide]

Abstract

N,N'-1,2-Phenylenebis[4-(chloromethyl)benzamide] (3) was obtained in 61% yield by nucleophilic acyl substitution of 4-(chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride (2) with 1,2-phenylenediamine (1) under basic conditions. The title compound was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, low- and high-resolution EI-MS, and melting point.
