Acetic Acid → tert-Butyl (3-hydroxypropyl)methylcarbamate

482.5 ml (5 eq.) acetic acid dissolved in 386 ml water were added dropwise over a period of 45 min to a solution of 95.6 g (1 eq.) tert-butyl 3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)propyl(methyl)carbamate dissolved in 386 ml THF at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was then stirred for 20 h at room temperature. As the starting product had not yet been completely converted, the mixture was cooled to 0° C., 50 ml dilute acetic acid were added over a period of 20 min and the mixture was stirred for a further 1 h at 0° C. The reaction course was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (10% EtOAc/hexane). Once the conversion was almost complete, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, adjusted to a pH of ˜9 with saturated Na2CO3 solution and extracted with 10% IPA/CH3Cl. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4. Following removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; 10% EtOAc/hexane). 40 g (66%) of product were obtained in the form of a colorless oil.
