Methyl chloroformate → Methyl N-[(1R,3S)-3-benzyloxycarbonylaminocyclohexyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyl N-[(1S,3R)-3-aminocyclohexyl]carbamate, 18e, (0.99 g, 3.99 mmol) was dissolved in THF (20 mL) and treated with methyl chloroformate (0.62 mL, 7.97 mmol), followed by triethylamine (1.67 mL, 11.96 mmol). After stirring for 1 hour at room temperature, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted into 1:3 mixture of CH2Cl2:EtOAc (130 mL) and washed with 1N HCl (50 mL) and 2N Na2CO3 (50 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the desired product, 19a, as a white solid (1.09 g, 89% yield).
