Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 5-methoxy-2-methylaniline (7.62 g) and triethylamine (15.5 ml) in dichloromethane (150 ml) at 0-5° C. was added chloroacetyl chloride (5.0 ml) dropwise and the ice bath removed. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 45 min before being poured into dil HCl and extracted with dichloromethane. Organic extracts were combined, washed with water, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to give a brown solid that was triturated with diethyl ether to leave the sub-title compound as a beige solid (5.7 g).
