EXAMPLE - Methanesulfonyl chloride (25 g), N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (22.35 g) and anhydrous dichloromethane (200 ml) were charged into 3-neck 1 l round-bottomed flask equipped with dry ice/liquid nitrogen bath, mechanical stirrer, dry nitrogen gas inlet, thermoprobe, addition funnel and bubbler. The system was flushed with nitrogen and then cooled to 0 degrees C, while stirring at this temperature, anhydrous trimethylamine (3 equivalents) was added dropwise. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred and allowed to warm up, and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0 degrees C and filtered to remove the solid (triethylamine hydrochloride) and the solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator. The reaction mixture was purified to obtain N-methoxy-N-methyl-methanesulfonamide.
