Procedure

To a solution of 1-amino-2-phenylpropane (25.0 g, 0.185 mol) and triethylamine (18.2 g, 0.185 mol) in 150 mL of chloroform was added dropwise, a solution of benzoyl chloride (26.0 g, 0.185 mol) in 150 mL of chloroform under nitrogen. After completion of the addition, the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 1 hour. The solution was then washed with water and the organic layer dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of the solvent yielded 42.0 g (95%) of N-(2-phenylpropyl)benzamide as a white powder.
