Tert-Butylamine → Methyl 2-(tert-butylamino)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl bromoacetate (7.1 mL, 75 mmol) is added dropwise to tert-butylamine (31.5 mL, 300 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture is diluted with ether, warmed to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to obtain the title product as a clear liquid (10.52 g) which is identified by 1H and 13CNMR spectral analyses.
