Participants

Reaction Steps

[2-(Methylamino)ethoxy]acetic acid (Bull. Soc. Chim.; 1956, 1210) (130 mg, 0.98 mmol) was mixed with triethylamine (0.56 mL, 4 mmol) in dry DMF (2 mL). Methylchloroformate (185 mg, 1.95 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes, then quenched with water. Aqueous HCl (2M) was added to adjust the pH to ˜2. Product was extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product as an oil (100 mg), which was used without further purification.
