Triethylamine → Tert-butyl 3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2-hydroxypropylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of t-butyl N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)carbamate (9.0 g, 47 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (75 mL) was added t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (7.80 g, 51.7 mmol), triethylamine (7.86 mL, 56.4 mmol) and DMAP (230 mg). The solution was stirred at rt overnight. After diluting with CH2Cl2 (50 mL), the solution was washed with water (2×100 mL), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residual oil was distilled by Kugelrohr under vacuum to give the desired product (13.6 g, 95%). MS (DCI) m/z 306 (M+1)+.
