Benzyl succinimido carbonate → Benzyl (3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

50.0 g of N-(benzyloxycarbonyloxy)succinimide (200 mmol) was added to a solution of 13.8 g of 3-amino-2,2-dimethylpropanol (134 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (140 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and diluted with water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. Then, the organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (elution solvent: toluene/ethyl acetate=9/1-3/1) to obtain 29.52 g of the title compound (yield: 93%).
