Diethylamine → 2-(Benzyloxy)-N,N-diethylacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

At 0° C., 1.54 ml (9.7 mmol) of benzyloxyacetyl chloride and 0.92 ml (8.9 mmol) of diethylamine were dissolved in 35 ml of CH2Cl2. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature (RT) for 2 hours and then washed with dilute HCl solution and saturated NaCl solution. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. 2-(Benzyloxy)-N,N-diethylacetamide was obtained as a colorless residue.
