Propargyl bromide → Carbamic acid, [2-(2-propynyloxy)ethyl]-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (9CI)

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-hydroxy-ethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1.56 g) in DCM (25 mL) benzyltrimethylammonium chloride (0.18 g) was added. To this solution aqueous 50% NaOH (30 g) and propargyl bromide (1.05 mL of 80% solution in toluene) were added and the mixture was vigorously stirred at room temperature for 3 h. Phases were diluted and separated; the organic phase was washed with water (2×15 mL), dried and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography (silica gel, 0-5% methanol in DCM) to give the title compound as a pale-orange oil (1.53 g); ESMS m/z 222.4 [M+Na]+.
