tert-Butyl carbamate → [1-(Benzooxazol-2-yl-hydroxy-methyl)-propyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

DIPEA (0.35 ml, 2 mmol) and di-tret-butyl dicarbonate (355 mg, 1.63 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-Amino-1-benzooxazol-2-yl-butan-1-ol (320 mg, 1.55 mmol) in dry methylene chloride (10 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 4 hrs. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl and the pH was adjusted to neutral. Oraganic layer separated and the aqueous layer extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give, 1-(Benzooxazol-2-yl-hydroxy-methyl)-propyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (500 mg).
