Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-1-amino-2-propanol (9.76 g, 130 mmol)in anhydrous benzene (60 mL) at 0° C. was added benzyl chloroformate (10.23 g, 60 mmol) in anhydrous benzene (120 mL) slowly, in portions, over a period of 20 min while vigorously stirring under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0° C., then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for a further 2 hours. The mixture was washed with water (2×) and brine (2×) before the organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4. Evaporation of all solvent gave the title product as an oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.22 (d, 3H,) 2.40 (bs, 1H), 3.07 (m, 1H), 3.37 (m, 1H)), 3.94 (m, 1H), 5.16 (s, 2H), 5.27 (m, 1H), 7.38 (m, 5H). MS m/z (electrospray) 232 [M+23]+ (100%), 166 (96).
