Triethylamine → 2-fluoro-N-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-fluorobenzoyl chloride (50 g, 0.31 mol) in CH2Cl2 (200 mL) was added N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine (46 g, 0.47 mol), and a solution of triethylamine (127 g, 1.26 mol) in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was warmed slowly to rt, and stirred for 3 h. The mixture was quenched with iced water and extracted with CH2Cl2 (200 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford 2-fluoro-N-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide (48 g, yield: 84.6%).
