Benzyl (5-tert-butyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)carbamate → 5-Tert-butyl-1,3-oxazol-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl (5-tert-butyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)carbamate (5.0 g, 18.2 mmol) in methanol (100 mL) is added 10% palladium on carbon (500 mg, 0.5 mmol). The reaction is stirred at room temperature for 3 h under hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture is filtered through Celite and the filtrate is concentrated. The residue is purified by flash column chromatography to afford the title compound (1.7 g, 68%) as a light brown solid.
