Hi all,
I'm interested in methylating a suite of carboxylic acids (ranging from acetic
to mellitic), which are initially dissolved in water. Just to make life easier
and eliminate a few steps in my procedures, I was wondering if anyone here
knows of a methylation (or any alkylation reagent) which is not water
sensitive. Is such a reagent even a possibility?
Thanks,
Robert
