Boron tribromide → HCID 19040965, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,4-dimethoxy-N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)benzamide (3.0 g, 11.0 mmol) in 10 ml of dichloromethane at 0° C. is treated with 1N boron tribromide (33.0 mL, 33.0 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction is concentrated in vacuo, dissolved in 1N sodium hydroxide solution, and acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid to generate solid which is filtered to afford 2,4-dihydroxy-N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)benzamide as white solid.
