A New Method for the Synthesis of N,N-Diethyl-m-Methylbenzamide from m-Toluic Acid and Diethylamine Using 1,1'-Carbonyl-di-(1,2,4-triazole) (CDT) as Coupling Agent
A new, simple method for the synthesis of N,N-diethyl-m-methylbenzamide (DEET) from m-toluic acid and diethylamine using 1,1'-carbonyl-di-(1,2,4-triazole) (CDT) as a coupling agent has been performed. The basic principles of activated carbonyls have been explored with the ability to prepare new amides easily. All reaction by-products are water-soluble as well as removed by filtration, the reaction could be purified easily in an aqueous solution by liquid-liquid extraction, and the product DEET was high purity. This experimental efficiency is about 94-95%, purity (HPLC): 97-98%.
