Procedure

To a solution of 40.0 g (0.174 mol) of 2-isopropyl-4-methoxybromobenzene in 600 ml of diethyl ether at 0° C. was added 103.68 ml (0.175 mol) of a 1.69M solution of butyl lithium in diethyl ether. When the addition was complete the solution was cooled to 0° C. for one hour and stirred for an additional five hours at ambient temperature, then recooled to -78° C. and treated with a solution of 23.68 g (0.175 mol) of N,N-diethylcarbamyl chloride in 80 ml of diethyl ether. The resulting solution was stirred for about 12 hours while the reaction temperature was allowed to rise and then quenched with saturated ammonium chloride solution. The aqueous and organic layers were separated, the aqueous layer back extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic extracts washed once with brine, then dried and the solution taken to dryness to give a crude product which was flash chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with 30% ethyl acetate/hexane to give 34.4 g (79%) of 2-isopropyl-4-methoxy-N,N-diethylbenzamide as an oil which was used as such in the next step without further purification. The oil can be distilled, if desired, and boils at 123°-129/0.2-0.3 min.
