Benzyl chloroformate → Ethyl 3-(((benzyloxy)carbonyl)amino)-2,2-dimethylpropanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

31 ml of 90% chloroformic acid benzyl ester are slowly added, at 0°-5° C., to 29.04 g of 3-amino-2,2-dimethylpropionic acid ethyl ester in 500 ml of ethyl acetate and 250 ml of 1M sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The reaction mixture is stirred for 2 hours at 0°-5° C. and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are washed with saturated sodium chloride solution and then concentrated. The evaporation residue is purified by FC (1 kg of silica gel; eluant: ethyl acetate/hexane=1:3). The title compound is obtained: Rf (ethyl acetate/hexane=1:3)=0.28.
