Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution consisting of 7.2 g 2-(2-nitrophenyl)propanol (39.7 mmol) and 4.4 ml N-methylmorpholine (39.7 mmol) in 15 ml absolute THF are slowly added to 5 ml diphosgene (41.4 mmol) in 10 ml absolute THF at 0° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere through a needle. Having stirred for 1 hour at 0° C., some of the precipitate is sucked off and the filtrate is withdrawn at the high vacuum. 6.91 g of (1) is obtained in the form of a brown oil (71%).
