N-Methoxy-N-methylbenzamide is used to prepare orally bioavailable tetrasubstituted imidazoles as inhibitors of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. It is used to synthesize benzofuran and benzothiophene biphenyls as inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B with antihyperglycemic properties.
N-Methoxy-N-methylbenzamide may be used in the preparation of β-trifluoromethyl enaminones.
ChEBI: The Weinreb amide of benzoic acid.
N-Methoxy-N-methylbenzamide is an N,N-disubstituted benzamide. also referred as Weinreb amide., Hydrogen bonding interactions between thioacetamide and N-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide has been investigated using near-infrared absorption spectroscopy. Preparation of N-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide has been reported.
