Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

0.62 mL pyridine was added dropwise to a solution of 0.77 g chloromethyl chloroformate and 1.32 mL t-BuOH in 60 mL CH2Cl2 cooled in an ice bath under an Ar atmosphere. The reaction was stirred 2 hours at 0° C. then transferred to a separatory funnel. The reaction was washed twice with H2O, once with 10% CuSO4, once with brine and dried with MgSO4. Suction filtration and evaporation provided 0.55 g of desired product which was used without purification.
