Participants

Reaction Steps

The product of Step 1 (2-({[2-(acryloyloxy)ethoxy]carbonyl}amino)ethyl 2-methylacrylate, 10.0 g, 37 mmol) was mixed with 2-methylaziridine (2.8 g, about 44 mmol, 90% pure, available from Aldrich) to cause a slight exotherm. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. Excess 2-methylaziridine was removed at reduced pressure to leave the desired product (12.0 g) as a colorless liquid. NMR and IR spectral analyses confirmed the structure of the product.
