Participants

Reaction Steps

N-[4-(2-Chloro-ethyl)-2-methyl-phenyl]-N-methyl-acetamide was prepared according to the general method as outlined in Preparation 43 starting from N-[4-(2-chloro-ethyl)-2-methyl-phenyl]-acetamide (0.450 g, 2.126 mmol) and iodomethane (0.176 ml, 2.834 mmol). After chromatographic purification, the product was isolated as a viscous oil (0.480 g, 2.125 mmol). Yield=100%.
