Methyl iodide → HCID 67868033, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the solution of diethyl N-(4-dodecyloxyphenylacetyl)aspartate (2.0 g, 4.1 m mol) and methyl iodide (0.76 ml) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml) was added sodium hydride (60% oil, 0.2 g, 4.8 m mol) under ice cooling and the resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. A saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride (50 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted with IPE. The organic layer was washed with water, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain crude diethyl N-(4-dodecyloxyphenylacetyl)-N-methylaspartate (3-z).
