N-(2-Alkoxyethyl)anilines may be prepared by acylation of an N-unsubstituted aniline with 2-chloroethyl chloroformate, ring closure to oxazolidinone, ring opening with alkoxide under anhydrous conditions to a carbamic acid salt, and decarboxylation.This unexpected mode of ring opening is especially useful in the preparation of N-(2-alkoxyethyl)-2,6-disubstituted anilines.
