Hydrochloric Acid → 3-Fluoro-N-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-fluorobenzoic acid (30 g, 214.1 mmol) in DCM (300 mL) were added EDC.HCl (45 g, 235 mmol) and N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine.HCl (23 g, 235 mmol) at 0° C. under N2. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h, then diluted with water (1000 mL) and extracted with DCM (3×200 mL). The organics were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated to obtain the 3-fluoro-N-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide (24 g, 61%). (183.91 [M+H]) 1H NMR: (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 3.38 (s, 3H), 3.57 (s, 3H), 7.14-7.19 (m, 1H), 7.37-7.43 (m, 2H), 7.48-7.50 (d, J=7.6, 1H).
