Reaction Steps

2.06 g (8.21 mmol) of 4-[(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)methyl]benzoic acid suspended in 40 mL of methylene chloride was mixed with 1.63 g (10.1 mmol) of 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole at room temperature and stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The reaction solution was further stirred with 1.8 mL (30 mmol) of 2-aminoethanol overnight, and after addition of 40 mL of saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, 20 mL of water and 200 mL of methylene chloride, was allowed to separate. The organic layer was washed with 80 mL of 1 M hydrochloric acid, with 40 mL of saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and with 20 mL of saturated aqueous sodium chloride twice, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the desired product (2.30 g, yield 95%).
