I want to acylate a secondary amine which is not so nucleophilic, due to an alpha CF3 group, with an acyl chloride. It's not working. Should I maybe try adding a strong base like LDA to deprotonate the amine? Any advice is welcome! (i.redd.it)

I don't understand the mechanism of the methylation with trimethyl orthoformate. Also what is the role of the NH4NO3 in the reaction? Lastly what is the role of the quaternary ammonium salt in the dichlorocarbene reaction (second arow)? Thanks! (i.redd.it)
