Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of N-methoxymethylamine (3.47 g) and triethylamine (10.4 mL) in dichloromethane (100 mL) at 5° C. is treated dropwise with 3-iodobenzoyl chloride (9.8 g). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, washed twice with water (70 mL), dried over magnesium sulphate, and evaporated to give N-methoxy-N-methyl-3-iodobenzamide (9.8 g) as a brown oil.
