Hydrochloric Acid → N-methoxy-N,3-dimethyl-1-benzofuran-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-methyl-1-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (15.0 g), N,O-dimethylhydroxyamine hydrochloride (9.95 g), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole-monohydrate (15.6 g), triethylamine (14.2 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (150 mL) was added 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (19.6 g), and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. In addition, N,O-dimethylhydroxyamine hydrochloride (4.16 g), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole-monohydrate (6.52 g), triethylamine (5.94 mL) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (8.17 g) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hr. 1N Hydrochloric acid was added to quench the reaction, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=3:7, volume ratio) to give the title object compound (16.2 g, 87%) as a colorless oil.
