Potassium Iodide → HCID 118113262, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 286 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (23.4 mL), a solution of potassium iodide (70.2 mg) and 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol (618 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5.00 mL) were added. After stirring the mixture at room temperature for an hour, a solution in tetrahydrofuran (5.00 mL) of the compound (1.00 g) obtained in step (1) above was added. After stirring the mixture at room temperature for 3 hours, a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added. Two extractions were conducted with a liquid mixture of n-hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) and the combined organic layers were washed with saturated brine. After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the desiccant was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0-65:35) to give 4-[(2,2-dimethylpropoxy)methyl]-N-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide as a colorless oil (304 mg).
