1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → (S)-tert-Butyl (1-(methoxy(methyl)amino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

CDI (185.6 g) was added to a dichloromethane (2000 ml) solution containing N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-alanine (200 g) at 5° C. or less, followed by stirring for 1 hour. Subsequently, triethylamine (115.8 g) and N-methoxy-N-methylamine hydrochloride (111.7 g) were added to the solution, followed by stirring at 15° C. or less for 1.5 hours. Dichloromethane (230 ml) was added to the reaction solution. The organic layers were washed with a 20% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. Heptane was added to the obtained residue for suspension and a solid was collected by filtration. A white solid of (S)-tert-butyl (1-(methoxy(methyl)amino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)carbamate (237.8 g) was thus obtained.
