Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of N-methyl-o-toluamide (4.47 g) in THF (100 ml) was added dropwise 1.6 M n-BuLi (40 ml, 2.2 equivalents) in nitrogen atmosphere at 0° C. After stirring for 2 hr, the resulting solution was cooled in a dry ice/acetone bath to −70° C., followed by the addition of anisole (4.0 g) at once. The reaction mixture was drawn out of the dry ice/acetone bath, and then returned to room temperature. Three hours later, an aqueous solution of saturated ammonium chloride and ether were added thereto, which was stirred for further 1 hr. The resulting white precipitates were collected by filtration, and then washed with water, ether and n-hexane, in this order. The resulting precipitates were dried, to give the title compound (1.72 g, yield; 24%).
