Triethylamine → Carbamic acid, N-[2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-, ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of {2-[3-(methyloxy)phenyl]ethyl}amine (20 g, 132.3 mmol) and triethylamine (20 g, 198 mmol) in dichloromethane (150 mL) was added ethyl chloridocarbonate (17.7 g, 163 mmol) dropwise at 0° C. After being stirred for 1 h the solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was washed with ethyl acetate. Following filtration, the filtrate was concentrated to afford ethyl {2-[3-(methyloxy)phenyl]ethyl}carbamate (32 g, crude, 100%). 1H NMR(CDCl3) δ: 7.15-7.25 (1H), 6.7-6.8 (3H), 4.72 (1H), 3.75 (3H), 3.4 (2H), 2.75 (2H), 2.0 (3H), 1.15-1.3(2H).
