Procedure

A mixture of 2-m-tolylacetic acid (1 g, 6.7 mmol), N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (654 mg, 6.7 mmol), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (1.28 g, 6.7 mmol), hydroxybenzotriazole (910 mg, 6.7 mmol) and triethylamine (3.38 g, 33.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. When TLC indicated that 2-m-tolylacetic acid was consumed, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (30 mL), and extracted with EtOAc (30 mL×3). The combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuo, and purified by column chromatography (PE: EtOAc=10:1) to afford N-methoxy-N-methyl-2-m-tolylacetamide (900 mg, yield 70%).
