Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 1.61 g (7.2 mmol) of 2-(N-methylamino)methyl)pyridine dihydrochloride and 1.14 g (7.2 retool) of α-isocyanato-valine methyl ester in 40 ml of dichloromethane was treated with 2 ml (18 mmol) of 4-methylmorpholine. After being stirred for 2 h, the solution was partitioned between dichloromethane and water, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. Chromatography on silica gel using 2% methanol in chloroform provided 1.94 g (96%) of the desired compound (Rf 0.32, 5% methanol in chloroform) as a colorless oil.
