Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methylbutylamine (20 g, 229 mmol) in 840 ml of dichloromethane were added 35.6 ml triethylamine (255 mmol) and 28.8 ml of phenyl chloroformate (230 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for three hours at room temperature. After distilling off the solvent under reduced pressure, 200 ml of ethyl acetate and 200 ml of water were added to the residue. The organic layers were separated and water layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×3). The organic layers were combined, washed with water and saturated sodium chloride solution successively and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off and the crystals separated out were collected by filtration, and washed with petroleum ether to give 39.5 g of phenyl 3-methylbutylcarbamate (83%) as colorless crystals.
