Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of amine hydrochloride 5 (0.25 g, 1.2 mmol) and Na2CO3 (0.73 g, 6.9 mmol) in THF (6 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Methyl chloroformate (0.27 ml, 3.45 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 h. The mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (20 ml), filtered and evaporated to the dryness. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (light petroleum ether-ethyl acetate, 10:1) to give 6 (0.24 g, 87%) as a colorless solid with m.p. 61-63° C. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, TMS): 0.92 and 1.15 (total 12H, both s, 3,5-CH3); 1.00-1.40 (4H, m, 4-CH2 and 2,6-CH); 2.00 (2H, d, 14 Hz, 2,6-CH); 3.62 (3H, s, CH3N); 4.72 (1H, br s, NH); 5.00 and 5.06 (total 2H, both d, 10.5 and 17 Hz, ═CH2) and 5.83 ppm (1H, dd, 10.5 and 17 Hz, ═CH).
