Chemicals Used
Aniline (Fisher)
2-Bromobenzoic acid (Fisher)
Copper bronze (Sigma Aldrich)
N',N'-DMF (Fisher)
Hydrochloric acid (Fisher)
Potassium carbonate (Fisher)
Procedure
To a quick-fit conical flask, equipped with condenser apparatus, aniline (0.95 mL, 10 mmol), 2-bromobenzoic acid (2.01 g, 10 mmol), potassium carbonate (3.4 g, 25 mmol), copper bronze (0.256 g, 4mmol) and DMF (40 mL) was added*. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux with constant stirring for 4 hours. Upon cooling, the solution poured over ice with stirring, then filtered through celite**. A minimum amount of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added dropwise to the filtrate to obtain pH=4***. The precipitate obtained was isolated at the pump to yield 2-(phenylamino) benzoic acid (1.40g, 67%) as a dark green solid.
Author's Comments
* a 100ml quickfit flat bottom flask with condenser tube was used.
** Temperature was maintained using the sensor on the hotplate. Constant stirring was maintained using a stirrer bar and controlled via the hot plate. The reaction did not require dry/inert conditions and took place in open air.
*** Indicator paper was used to determine pH.
