POTENTIAL CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM ACTIVE AGENTS. 3. SYNTHESIS OF SOME SUBSTITUTED BENZAMIDES AND PHENYLACETAMIDES.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/je00036a040

The preparation and special properties (IR, **1H NMR) are given for 45 benzamides and 10 phenylacetamides substituted on nitrogen with allyl, benzhydryl, benzyl, or cyclopropyl groups, and variously substituted on the acyl part with halo, methoxyl, methyl, or nitro groups. The benzamide derivatives were synthesized by the Schotten-Baumann method, and the phenylacetamide derivatives were prepared by heating the appropriate N-benzhydrylammonium salt in o-xylene. Thirty-one of the compounds are new.
