Tert-butyldicarbonate → HCID 22929887, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

After suspending N1,4-dimethyl-5-cyano-2-ethoxybenzamide (92 g) in acetonitrile (11), tert-butyl dicarbonate (110 g) and dimethylaminopyridine (2.6 g) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was heated to 90° C. and stirred for 3 hours. tert-Butyl dicarbonate (110 g) was further added and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the precipitated crystals were filtered off (24.3 g). The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent: n-hexane-ethyl acetate) to yield the title compound (81.1 g) as a white solid.
