Reaction Steps

A 1 L flask was charged with 2-(N-methylanilino)ethanol (8) (151.3 g, 1 mole), methylene chloride (250 mL), and triethylamine (151 g, 1.48 mole). Acetic anhydride (153.35 g, 1.5 mole) was added to the solution at room temperature through an addition funnel. The product (7) was collected by vacuum distillation (122 g, bp 110° C. at 400 micron Hg).
