Potassium Carbonate → N-allyl-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)acrylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-allyl-4-methoxyaniline (1.00 g, 6.13 mmol) in methylene chloride (20 mL) was added K2CO3 (2.12 mg, 15.3 mmol) and acryloyl chloride (548 μL, 6.74 mmol) at 0° C. After 15 min., the reaction was quenched with NaHCO3 (5 mL, sat. aq.) and the organic layer was isolated, concentrated and subjected to flash chromatography (Hexanes:EtOAc 4:1) to yield N-allyl-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)acrylamide (1.29 mg, 97%).
