Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-cyclohexanol (3.50 g 23.0 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) was added ethylchloroformate (2.65 mL, 1.2 eq.) followed by an aqueous solution of K2CO3 (16.0 g in 200 mL of H2O). The mixture was stirred vigorously for 1 h. The separated aqueous layer was extracted twice with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give (2-hydroxy-cyclohexyl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester (4.36 g, >100%).
