A series of aromatic amides were synthesized in yields of 80%~99%using substituted aniline and chloroacetyl chloride as materials. The structures of the products were characterized by IR, 1HNMR and 13C NMR. The post-treatment of the reactions were simplified only by washing the reaction mixtures with hot water, need not use organic solvent to extract the product from the mixture. The reduction use of organic solvent in post-treatment is in line with the requirements of the green chemistry.
