Dimethylamine → 2,6-dimethoxy-N,N-dimethylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of dimethylamine (2M in THF, 3 mL) and THF (2 mL) is added 2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride (200.6 mg, 1 mmol) in THF (2 mL) dropwise. After the addition, the solution is stirred at RT for 1 h. Water is added and the suspension is extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer is washed with water and brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure to afford the title compound: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.26-7.22 (t, J=8.34 Hz, 1H), 6.56-6.53 (d, J=8.33 Hz, 2H), 3.79 (s, 6H), 3.12 (s, 3H), 2.82 (s, 3H).
