Abstract

N-(2-alkoxyethyl)alkanamides, such as N-(2-ethoxyethyl)ethanamide and N-(2-methoxyethyl)propanamide, are prepared by reacting a 2-oxazoline with methanol or ethanol in the presence of a strong base, such as sodium methoxide. Subsequent hydrolysis of such amides provides a convenient means for obtaining 2-alkoxyethyl amines.
