Hydrochloric Acid → Tert-butyl N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-N-(6-fluoro-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-phenyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-N-[6-fluoro-2-methyl-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl]carbamate (800 mg, 41.7 mmol, 1.0 eq) in a mixture of THF (10 mL) and NaOH (1M aqueous solution, 5.3 mL, 5.3 mmol, 3.0 eq) at 0° C. was added H2O2 (30% aqueous solution, 603 mg, 5.32 mmol, 3.0 eq). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The resulting mixture was acidified to pH 5-7 by addition of diluted HCl, and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extract was washed with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue obtained was purified by column chromatography, (EtOAc:petroleum ether, 0:1 to 1:10) to give the title product as an oil (500 mg, 83%).
