Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

15 g of 3-aminopropan-1,2-diol (164.6 mmol) were solubilized in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran in a round-bottomed flask provided with a magnetic bar. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C. on an ice bath and 21.5 ml of ethyl trifluoroacetate (181.1 mmol) were gradually added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The crude reaction product was then evaporated to dryness. 29 g of a pure colorless oil were thus obtained (yield: 95%), that product was used without further purification.
