Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloromethyl-α-methoxy-N-methyl-phenylacetamide (0.25 g, 1.1 mmol) and 2,3,5-trimethylphenol (0.18 g, 1.3 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (3 ml) was stirred at 0° C., and 60% oily sodium hydride (0.08 g, 2.0 mmol) was added thereto. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 70 minutes and then at room temperature for 1 hour, and ice and water were added in this order. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (n-hexane/ethyl acetate=7/3) to give the desired compound α-methoxy-N-methyl-(2,3,5-trimethylphenoxymethyl)phenylacetamide (0.17 g, 50%) as an oil.
