Methanamine, N-methoxy-, hydrochloride (1:1) → 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-N-methoxy-N-methylacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)acetate (59, 20.0 g, 91.59 mmol), N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (18.76 g, 192.3 mmol) and THF (800 mL) cooled to 0° C. was added dropwise via addition funnel isopropylmagnesium chloride (183.2 mL, 366.4 mmol) and the reaction was stirred for 3 h. The reaction was quenched with saturated NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by passage through a SiO2 plug eluting with 20% EtOAc/hexane to afford 15.12 g (70.7%) of 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-N-methoxy-N-methylacetamide (60).
