Procedure

A solution of 2-bromopropionyl bromide (25 g.) in dry chloroform (50 ml.) was dropwise added with stirring and ice-cooling to a solution of N,N-dimethylaniline (24 g.) in t-butanol (11 g.) and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into 6 N sulfuric acid (150 ml.) and extracted with ether. The extract was in turn washed with 6 N sulfuric acid, water, a 10% potassium carbonate aqueous solution and water and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off to give oil of t-butyl 2-bromopropionate (21 g.).
