Synthesis of m-Hydroxy N-dimethylaniline Derivatives

m-Hydroxy N-dimethylaniline 유도체의 합성

m-Hydroxyaniline was reported to be converted to m-methoxyaniline with dimethylsulfate. However, while repeating the experiment with the same reaction condition, it was learned that the reaction product was not m-methoxyaniline but m-methoxy dimethylaniline. It was confirmed with nmr and ir spectrum and the comparison of bp and mp of the derivatives. Elemental analyses of the derivatives were also consistant with the fact N-dimethylation along with O-methylation occurred.
