2,4-Dimethoxybenzoic acid → HCID 19040985, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid (4.31 g, 23.7 mmol) in 35 mL of dichloromethane is treated with N-isopropylaniline (3.07 mL, 21.33 mmol), hydroxybenzotriazole (3.2 g, 23.7 mmol), and 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-carbodiimide hydrochloride (4.54 g, 23.7 mmol). This solution is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours and the resulting solution is partitioned between ethyl acetate and 1N hydrochloride solution. The organic layer is washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The resulting material is purified by chromatography on silica gel (150 g) with 40-60% ethyl acetate/hexane as the eluent to afford 2,4-dimethoxy-N-(1-methylethyl)-N-phenylbenzamide as a colorless foam.
