Reaction Steps

2-(2-Methoxy-5-nitrophenyl)acetic acid (17.1 g, 1 eq, Step B), EDC (18.6 g, 1.2 eq.), Et3N (9.8 g, 13.6 mL, 1.2 eq) and dimethylamine hydrochloride (7.9 g, 1.2 eq.) in 150 mL of CH2Cl2 were stirred together with exclusion of air overnight. CH2Cl2 (150 mL) was added and the mixture was washed twice with 1M HCl, twice with 1M NaOH, H2O and brine. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure followed by silica gel chromatography (90:10 CH2Cl2:EtOAc) afforded pure 2-(2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-N,N-dimethyl-acetamide as a white solid.
