Triethylamine → tert-butyl N-{2-[2-(methanesulfonyloxy)ethoxy]ethyl}carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a solution of tert-butyl 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethylcarbamate (48.53 g, 236 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (1 L) was cooled to 0° C. Triethylamine (49.4 mL, 354 mmol)) was added. Methanesulfonyl chloride (20.10 mL, 260 mmol) was added dropwise over a period of 10 minutes. The reaction was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stir overnight. The reaction was quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (500 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (3×500 mL) and brine (1×500 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 66.9 g of 2-{2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]ethoxy}ethyl methanesulfonate as a brown oil.
