Procedure

A solution of acetyl chloride (7.11 mL, 100 mmol) was added dropwise to an ice water-cooled solution of 1-methylheptyl amine (8.30 g, 64 mmol) and triethylamine (20.91 mL, 150 mmol) in TF (100 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 1 h, then was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed twice with 10% HCl, twice with sat aq NaHCO3, and then twice with brine. The organic solution was dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to afford 8.13 g N-(1-methylhept-1-yl)acetamide, a 73% yield.
