Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

34 ml (0.36 mol) of 2-amino-1-butanol were added dropwise to a solution of 30 g of diketene (0.36 mol) in 300 ml tetrahydrofuran at −5 to 0° C. After 1 h stirring at 0° C. no more starting material was detected by thin layer chromatography. The reaction mixture was evaporated and the residue purified by column chromatography. This gave 46.97 g (0.27 mol, 76% yield) of a colorless oil.
