I put in a significant amount of effort to update this page as a part of a class project. I'll be slowly fixing it up over time to better match the MoS. Mdlevin (talk) 05:37, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Issues needing to be addressed

There are a few issues that need to be addressed before I can pass this article:

1. Titles should be provided for the journal articles listed in the references.
2. There might be a problem with consistency in the notation for one of the compounds mentioned in the "Prepartation" section. [MeO(Me)NH•HCl] is mentioned in the text, but the notation of the compound given in the diagram gives [MeONHMe·HCl]. I am assuming that this is the same compound, but the notation should be the same for consistency. Also, further in the article, the compound [MeNH(OMe)·HCl] is given. Does this refer to the same compound as well?

I will place this article on hold for about a week or so for these issues needing to be addressed. Happy editing! --Tea with toast (talk) 19:59, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for your time reviewing the article! I'll go ahead and fix those issues.

• The journal names are a quick fix and I'll take care of that ASAP.
• As for the three different ways of writing methoxymethylamine, all refer to the same compound and fixing it shouldn't be an issue either. However, is there one of the ways of writing the reagent that you think would be the best?

M.Levin 20:13, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

So I went ahead and made the changes and chose MeO(Me)NH as the one way to refer to the reagent. I also made a few other minor changes and additions that I had been eyeing. I hope everything is up to par. Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to take care of! M.Levin 23:52, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Great job! --Tea with toast (talk) 03:32, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Better use MeNH(OMe) instead of MeO(Me)NH?

The current notation looks to me as if both methyl groups were attached to the oxygen. Zalumon (talk) 09:18, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
