Allyl chloroformate → tert-Butyl-[3-(2-chloro-pyrimidin-4-yl)-benzyl]-carbamic acid allyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl-[3-(2-chloro-pyrimidin-4-yl)-benzyl]-amine from the above reaction (1.33 g, 4.84 mmol) was treated with allyl chloroformate (0.77 mL) in methylene chloride (15 mL) with diisopropyl ethylamine (1.7 mL) at room temperature for 3 hours. The mixture was diluted with methylene chloride (50 mL), washed with water (2×), brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered. Removal of the solvent followed by chromatography on silica gel (1:4 ethyl acetate:hexane eluent) afforded product in 61% yield. LC-MS showed the product had the expected M+H+ of 360. 1H NMR (Varian 300 MHz, CDCl3, shifts relative to the solvent peak at 7.24 ppm) 8.6 (d, 1H) 7.9 (d, 2H) 7.6 (d, 1H) 7.4 (m, 2H) 5.9 (m, 1H) 5.2 (m, 2H) 4.7 (s, 2H) 4.6 (d, 2H) 1.4 (s, 9H).
