Pyridine → (2R)-2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]propyl dimethylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N-Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride (0.12 mL, 0.0013 mol) was added to a solution of tert-butyl [(1R)-2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl]carbamate (0.150 g, 0.856 mmol), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.02 g, 0.2 mmol) and pyridine (0.14 g, 1.7 mmol) in methylene chloride (3.0 mL). The mixture was stirred overnight, diluted with EtOAc and washed with 1N HCl, saturated NaHCO3 and brine. The organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel with EtOAc in hexanes (0-30%) to afford the desired product.
