Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-acetic acid (61.9 mmol, 15.0 g), HBTU (74.3 mmol, 28.1 g), and N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (92.9 mmol, 9.0 g) in DMF (100 mL) at 0° C. was added DIEA (136.3 mmol, 17.5 g) drop-wise. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 30 min. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, and 1.0 N HCl, followed by brine. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 2-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-N-methoxy-N-methyl-acetamide.
