Salicylic Acid → Tert-butyl 2-(2-hydroxybenzamido)propylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 2-aminopropylcarbamate (3.6 g, 20.6 mmol), 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (2.79 g, 20.6 mmol) and imidazole (1.41 g, 20.6 mmol) in EtOAc (100 mL) at 0° C. was slowly added a solution of DCC (4.26 g, 20.6 mmol) in EtOAc (50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred (RT, 16 h), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by silica chromatography, EtOAc/Petroleum ether (0-20%) to afford tert-butyl 2-(2-hydroxybenzamido)propylcarbamate (2.4 g, 40%) as a white solid.
