Y. Kikugawa et al., A NEW SYNTHESIS OF N-ALKOXY-2-ETHOXYARYLACETAMIDES FROM N-ALKOXY-N-CHLOROARYLACETAMIDES WITH TRIETHYLAMINE IN ETHANOL, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 41(12), 1993, pp. 2192-2194
Treatment of N-alkoxy-N-chloroarylacetamides with triethylamine in eth
anol results in removal of a chlorine atom and introduction of an etho
xy group at the C-2 position of arylacetamides in moderate yields.
