N,O-Dimethylhydroxylamine → N-methoxy-N-methyl-2-(thiophen-3-yl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(thiophen-3-yl)acetic acid (2.0 g, 14.1 mmol), O,N-dimethyl-hydroxylamine (1.68 g, 16.9 mmol), EDCI (2.95 g, 15.5 mmol), HOBT (2.15 g, 15.5 mmol), and TEA (3.7 mL, 31 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (50 mL) was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for two hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2, and the organic layer was washed with aqueous HCl solution (0.5 mol/L, 30 mL×2), saturated NaHCO3 (30 mL×2) and brine (30 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to give the crude N-methoxy-N-methyl-2-(thiophen-3-yl)acetamide (2.0 g, yield 76.6%).
