Methyl chloroformate → HCID 22096111, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar, argon inlet and pressure equalizing addition funnel is charged with tetrahydrofuran (14.0 mL), triethylamine (2.13 g, 1.5 eq) and N-methoxynonanamide (1.96 g, 1 eq). The reaction is cooled in an ice bath and methyl chloroformate (1.88 g, 1.4 eq) is added dropwise. The reaction is allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. The tetrahydrofuran is removed under vacuum and the residue is diluted with methylene chloride (25 mL). The reaction is washed with 0.1 M hydrochloric acid solution 1×20 mL), saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (3×20 mL)and brine 1×20 mL). The organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum.
