Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.0 g (5.98 mmol) of 3,5-bis(phenylmethoxy)benzoic acid, 1.6 ml (7.18 mmol) of diphenylphosphoryl azide, 1.0 ml (7.18 mmol) of triethyl amine and 6 ml (64 mmol) of t-butyl alcohol (freshly distilled from sodium) in 15 ml of anhydrous toluene was stirred at reflux under argon for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with NaHCO3 solution, dried and concentrated at reduced pressure to an oil. Chromatography on 25 g of 230-400 mesh silica gel using 10% ethyl acetate-hexane gave 2.25 g (93% yield, mp 96°-98°) of 3,5-bis(phenylmethoxy) phenyl carbamic acid dimethylethyl ester.
