Water → tert-Butyl [(3-bromo-4,5-dihydro-1,2-oxazol-5-yl)methyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl allyl amine, 20 gm, in 700 ml of ethyl acetate and containing 65 gm of NaHCO3 and 50 ml of water, was added portion-wise 80 gm of dibromoformaldoxime at room temperature with vigorous stirring. After completion of the reaction, the organic portion was washed with water (2×100 ml), 100 ml each of 5% NaHCO3, brine and dried over anh. MgSO4 and concentrated to give an oil. Purification by chromatography on silica gel gave the desired product as an oil which solidified on standing. IR(KBr): 3322, 2988, 1680, 1529 cm-1. 1H NMR (80 MHz, CDCl3): delta 1.45 (s, 9H, t-butyl), 2.8-3.5 (m, 4H, CH2CHO, CH2N), 4.6-5.1 (broad s, superimposed on a multiplet, 2H, NH, CHO).
