Isonicotinic Acid → N-Methoxy-N-methylisonicotinamide

To a stirred solution of isonicotinic acid (20.0 g, 162 mmol) in DCM (400 mL) were added HATU (92.6 g, 243 mmol), N-methoxy methylamine (17.24 g, 178 mmol) and TEA (68.7 mL, 487 mmol) at RT under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was then stirred at RT for 12 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3×500 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (150 mL), brine (150 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to obtain the crude product. The crude material was purified via silica gel column chromatography eluting with 30-40% EtOAc in Hexane to afford to afford N-methoxy-N-methylisonicotinamide (15.0 g, 55%) as an oil.
