Ethyl bromoacetate → Ethyl 2-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylamino)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-ylamine (1.2 eq.) and potassium carbonate (2.2 eq.) in DMF at 0° C. was added ethyl bromo acetate and stirred at room temperature for overnight. Reaction was then quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford crude product, which, on purification by column chromatography afforded the (Benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-ylamino)-acetic acid ethyl ester.
