Diisopropylethylamine → (3-Chloro-4-vinyl-phenyl)-carbamic acid 2-trimethylsilanyl-ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-chloro-4-vinyl-phenylamine (3.4 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (44 mL) containing diisopropylethylamine (5.8 mL) is added 1-[2-(trimethylsilyl)-ethoxycarbonyl-oxy]benzotriazole (7.1 g) and the mixture is stirred at room temperature under an atmosphere of argon for three days. The solution is then diluted with water and extracted three times with diethyl ether. The combined organic extracts are washed successively with water, saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is chromatographed over silica gel (10% ethyl acetate in hexanes is used as the eluant) to provide the desired product as a yellow oil.
