Procedure

2-Bromo-N-(2-tert-butyl-5-nitro-phenyl)-acetamide (80 g, 253 mmol) and K2CO3 (70 g, 506 mmol) were combined in a 3-L 3-neck round bottom flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer, N2 inlet, and pressure equalizing addition funnel. THF (1.75 L) was added and the mixture was cooled to 0° C. under N2. DMA (400 mL of a 2 M solution in THF, 800 mmol) was added to the mixture through the pressure equalizing addition funnel over 30 min. The mixture was gradually warmed to RT with stirring overnight. The reaction was quenched by filtering it under vacuum and then concentrating the filtrate under reduced pressure. The recovered material was eluted through a 36×7 cm column of silica gel with 50% EtOAc:Hexanes giving N-(2-tert-butyl-5-nitro-phenyl)-2-dimethylamino-acetamide as a brown solid.
