Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N,N-diethyl-2-(N-tert-butylamino)benzamide (4.2 g, 17 mmol), potassium carbonate (3.1 g, 22 mmol), and MeI (3.1 g, 22 mmol) in DMF (75 mL) was heated overnight at 40° C. The reaction was not complete, so additional MeI (3.1 g, 22 mmol) was added and the reaction heated at 40° C. for 1 d, then was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The EtOAc was dried (MgSO4), concentrated, and purified by HPLC with 1:4 ethyl acetate/cyclohexane to afford 3.22 g of N,N-diethyl-2-(N-methyl-N-tert-butylamino)benzamide as a yellow oil, a 72% yield.
