2-Chloro-N-methylacetamide Use and Manufacturing

To methylamine hydrochloride (896 mg, 13.3 mmol) and NaIn a sealed tube, under N2, methylamine (13 mL, 26.0 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of chloroacetyl chloride (1 mL, 12.6 mmol) in dry DCM (20 mL) at 0 °C and the mixture was allowed to warm to rt and was stirred at this temperature for 16 h. Thereaction mixture was diluted with CH2C12 and water. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 993 mg of intermediate 77 (73percent yield, colorless oil) which was directly engaged in the next step without further purification.2-Chloroacetyl chloride (45 g, 0.40 mol) was added dropwise to aqueous methylamine (40percent, 30.7 g, 1.31 mol) in 300 ml of water at 0 °C with stirring. The temperature was controlled below 10 °C, and stirring was continued until the reaction was no longer exothermic. The resulting solution was extracted with dichloromethane (4x250 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (250 mL) and spin-evaporated in vacuo to give a clear liquid residue. This residue was diluted with pentane (300 ml) and spin-evaporated in vacuo to give 15.4 g (36percent yield) of 3d as a white solid.
