tert-Butanol → tert-Butyl (3-isobutylcyclobutyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-Isobutylcyclobutanecarboxylic acid (3.00 g) and tert-butanol (30 mL) were mixed. To the mixture were added triethylamine (4.28 mL) and diphenylphosphoryl azide (5.38 mL) at ice temperature. After stirring at 95° C. overnight, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. To the resultant residue was added ethyl acetate. The mixture was washed with water and brine, then dried over magnesium sulfate. The magnesium sulfate was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane=1/40) to give the title compound (2.91 g).
