1,2-Dichloroethane → Benzenepropanoyl chloride

A mixture of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (4 ml, 42 mmol), CH2Cl2 (200 mL), 4-acetyl benzoic acid (1, 6.9 g, 42 mmol), EDC (1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-eythylcarbodiimide HCl, 12.1 g, 63 mmol), HOBT (N-hydroxybenzotriazole H2O, 6.4 g, 42 mmol), and Hunig's base (diisopropylethylamime, 22 mL, 126 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. Upon completion (TLC, LC/MS) the reaction mixture was concentrated, and the resulting residue was diluted with EtOAc (50 mL) and washed with NaHCO3 (2×40 mL) and brine (40 mL). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. The crude material was purified by flash column chromatography (4:1:1 hexanes:EtOAc:CH2Cl2; 1:1:1 hexanes:EtOAc:CH2Cl2; 1:1 EtOAc:CH2Cl2) to remove bisacylated material. Alcohol 2 was obtained in 54% yield (5.36 g).
