Participants

Reaction Steps

1.65 g of t-butyl N-[5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxybenzyl]carbamate was dissolved in 20 ml of dimethoxyethane, 0.53 ml of phosphorus tribromide was added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with ether and washed with water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, to give 1.76 g of the title compound from the 3:1 hexane-ethyl acetate fraction.
