Diisopropylethylamine → 4-Nitrophenyl 2-(methylamino)-2-oxoethyl carbonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.93 g (29.4 mmol) of 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate are added portionwise and at room temperature to a suspension of 2.62 g (29.4 mmol) of 2-hydroxy-N-methylacetamide and 16.5 g (58.7 mmol) of supported diisopropylethylamine (Ps-DIEA from Argonaut, charge=3.56 mmol/g) in 250 ml of dichloromethane. Orbital stirring is continued at room temperature for 16 hours. The resin is filtered off and rinsed with 150 ml of dichloromethane, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure. 6 g of product are obtained in the form of a pale yellow solid (purity estimated at 70%), and are used without further purification in the following step.
