Abstract
The combination of trimethylacetic anhydride and catalytic amounts of potassium tert-butoxide mediates an amination of carboxylic acids with DMF as a dimethylamine reagent to provide N,N-dimethylamides. The applicability of this protocol is demonstrated by late-stage dimethylamidations of complex drug molecules.
