Reaction Steps

To an ice-cold suspension of 3-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-benzoic acid (1.0 mg, 4.85 mmol) and N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (520 mg, 5.33 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) was added N-methylmorpholine (586 μl, 5.33 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes, to which were added N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (1.05 g, 5.33 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature, and then diluted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with 1N HCl, water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The product was vacuum-dried to give the 3-hydroxy-N-methoxy-N-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-benzamide. To a suspension of 3-hydroxy-N-methoxy-N-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-benzamide (13.7 g, 44.8 mmol) and imidazole (495 mg, 7.27 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) was added portionwise tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (877 mg, 5.82 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature, and then diluted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with 1N HCl, water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by column chromatography to give 3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-N-methoxy-N-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-benzamide (1.71 g, 97%).
