“…A, A-Diallylb enzamide (8),13'14 bp 101°( 0.25 mm), w25d 1.5380, was obtained in 92% yield from reaction of 5, benzoyl chloride, and sodium hydroxide solution at 15-25°:17 ir (KBr plates) rca: 3080, 3050, 3020, 3000, 2980, 2920, pC-o 1640, A,A-Diallyltrifluoroacetamide (7).18-To a well-stirred solution of 5 (97.0 g, 1.00 mol) in 200 ml of dichloromethane, protected from the atmosphere by a slow stream of nitrogen, redistilled trifluoroacetic anhydride (105 g, 0.500 mol) was added dropwise at 0-5°over a 4-hr period. After 0.5 hr of additional stirring the mixture was poured into 100 ml of water, rinsed with 25 ml of water, and dried (MgS04).…”
