Abstract 2-Methoxy-5-nitrobenzoyl chloride was reacted with 2-(aminomethyl)-1- ethylpyrrolidine, 3-amino-1-ethylpiperidine, 4-amino-1-benzylpiperidine, 1- benzylpiperazine, and 1-amino-4-benzylpiperazine and gave the N-substituted 2-methoxy-5- nitrobenzamides VIa-VIe. Their reduction with hydrazine hydrate and Raney nickel in ethanol afforded the corresponding 5-amino-2-methoxybenzamides VIIa-VIIe. The amino ...
