Dz. Mijin et al., BENZYLATION OF N-PHENYL-2-PHENYLACETAMIDE, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 36(10), 1997, pp. 934-937
Benzylation of N-phenyl-2-phenylacetamide with benzyl chloride in the
presence of powdered KOH has been carried out to find out the possible
reaction products as well as to ascertain optimal reaction conditions
for the synthesis of different products. Alkylation reactions have be
en carried out in the presence of various phase-transfer catalysts, so
lvents and temperatures furnishing N-, O-, and C-products. N-product h
as been found to be the main product in most of the used systems.
