Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-(4-aminophenyl)oxetan-3-ol (1.19 g, 6.66 mmol, 1.0 eq) in acetone (20 mL) was added pyridine (1.05 g, 13.29 mmol, 2.0 eq) and phenyl chloroformate (1.05 g, 6.68 mmol, 1.1 eq) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. The solvent was evaporated. The resulting residue was purified by CC using EtOAc/PE (3:7) as eluent to get phenyl 4-(3-hydroxyoxetan-3-yl)phenylcarbamate (1.2 g, 63%) as a white solid (TLC system: EtOAc/PE (7:3), Rf: 0.7).
