mardyart Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I recently saw a topic on Science Madness about converting Benzoic Acid to Benzamide using Urea.http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=4201&p...Can this be done substituting o-Chlorobenzoic Acid?Will it yield o-Chlorobenzamide?Is this a Vapour Phase reaction?If I mix the resulting benzamide with Sulfamic Acid and distill, will that yield o-Chlorobenzonitrile?Thanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rktpro Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 At around 150-200c there is little chance that you loose Cl from the ring. The yield, I guess, will be lower due to steric reasons but -I of Cl would make the carbonyl more reactive for attack, hence it is to be determined experimentally. Urea would be in vapour phase but not the acid at that temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
