Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl(methyl)amino)propanoic acid (130 g, 0.64 mol) in anhydrous THF was added CDI at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0° C. To this mixture was added a solution of O,N-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloric salt (145.2 g, 0.9 mol) and TEA (90.1 g, 0.9 mol) in THF at rt. The resulting mixture was stirred overnight. Solvent and volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified via column chromatography to give tert-butyl 3-(methoxy(methyl)amino)-3-oxopropyl(methyl)carbamate (120 g, 75.5%) as a colorless oil. 1HNMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 1.45 (s, 9H), 2.62-2.71 (m, 2H), 2.87 (s, 3H), 3.17 (s, 3H), 3.48-3.56 (m, 2H), 3.68 (s, 3H)
