Participants

Reaction Steps

An oven-dried 500 mL round bottom flask under nitrogen was charged with THF (20 mL), N-methylpent-4-en-1-amine (Org. Lett. (2005), 7(9), pp 1737-1739) (1.0 g, 10.1 mmol) and methyl (2S)-2-isocyanato-3-methylbutanoate (J.O.C. (1992), 57(26), pp 7364-7366) (1.60 g, 10.1 mmol). Contents of the reaction flask were stirred at RT for 2 hours then rotary evaporated to afford the title compound as a colorless oil. LRMS m/e [M+H]+ 257.
