Diisopropylethylamine → N-methyl-N-[2-nitro-5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl](2-methoxy)ethoxymethoxyamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-methyl-N-[2-nitro-5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl]hydroxyamine (600 mg, 1.65 mmol) in methylene chloride (4 ml) containing diisopropylethylamine (0.43 ml, 1.5 eq.) is added (2-methoxy)ethoxymethyl bromide (310 mg, 1.5 eq.) The mixture is stirred at RT for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is then taken up in methylene chloride, washed, dried, evaporated and purified by prep. TLC to yield N-methyl-N-[2-nitro-5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl](2-methoxy)ethoxymethoxyamine (IXA, R is CH3OCH2CH2OCH2).
