Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(4-fluorophenyl)propanoic acid (5.0 g, 30 mmol) in THF is cooled in an ice bath and treated with N-methyl morpholine (NMM) (3.0 g, 30 mmol), isobutylchloroformate (4.04 g, 30 mmol) and stirred for few mins. This was then treated with a solution of N,O-Dimethyl hydroxylamine hydrochloride (3.0 g, 30 mmol) in THF/water (neutralized with 3.0 g of NMM) and stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture is diluted with CH2Cl2 and washed successively with 1 N NaOH, water and brine. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum to give 6.2 g of 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-methoxy-N-methylpropanamide as oil.
