Start by treating N-tert-butyl-N-methyl-2-methoxybenzamide with a strong base such as n-butyllithium (n-BuLi) or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in an appropriate solvent, typically at low temperatures (e.g., -78°C to -20°C). This will lead to the directed metalation of the aromatic ring at the meta-position to the amide group. The amide acts as a directing group.
