tert-Butanol → Ethyl 1-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)cyclopropanecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.0 g of known monoethyl 1,1-cyclopropanedicarboxylate, 4.5 ml of triethylamine and 6.9 ml of diphenyl phosphorazidate (DPPA) were added to 80 ml of tert-butyl alcohol and the mixture was refluxed at 90° to 100° C. for 4 h. After distilling the solvent, the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with 5% citric acid, saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and then dried.
