Ethyl chloroformate → HCID 21530324, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.1 parts of 2,2,7,7-tetramethyl-1,4-diazaheptan-5-one, 30 parts of ethylchloroformate and 150 parts of anhydrous toluene were heated at reflux for 16 hours. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure was followed by addition of 10 parts of water to the residue basification with sodium carbonate solution and chloroform extraction. The yellow oil produced was distilled under reduced pressure to yield 4-ethoxycarbonyl-2,2,7,7-tetramethyl-1,4-diazaheptan-5-one of boiling point 98° - 100°C at 0.2mm pressure. The hydrochloric acid salt of this material gave the following elemental analysis by weight:
