Procedure

A mixture of ethanolamine (0.1 mol), di-tert-butylcarbonate (0.15 mol), dioxane (50 mL) and aq. 2 N NaOH (25 mL) is stirred at RT for 24 hr. The dioxane is removed by evaporation under reduced pressure. Water (50 mL) is added to the aqueous mixture and the mixture is extracted with CH2Cl2 (4×25 mL). The combined organic layers are dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product. Pure N-BOC-ethanolamine is obtained by purification of the crude product with the use of flash chromatography over silica gel.
