Reaction Steps

A solution was made by combining while cooling in an ice bath, 1.51 g (0.015 mole) of 2,2-dimethyloxazolidine, 1.6 g (0.015 mole) of triethylamine, and 100 ml of methylene chloride. A second solution containing 3.08 g (0.015 mole) of dichloroacetoxyacetyl chloride dissolved in 10 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise to the first solution. The mixture was stirred in the ice bath for ten minutes. After refluxing for one hour, it was allowed to cool to room temperature. The reaction product was water washed twice and dried over magnesium sulfate. It was decolorized with a decolorizing agent and charcoal. The solvent was removed by reduced pressure evaporation leaving 2.8 g (69% yield) of 2,2-dimethyl-3-dichloroacetoxyacetyloxazolidine. The structure was confirmed by IR.
