Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → N-(tert-Butyloxycarbonyl)glycine N-hydroxysuccinimide ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Boc-glycine (7.31 g, 41.7 mmol) was dissolved in 100 mL of DCM and to the cooled (15° C.) solution N-hydroxysuccinimide (5.28 g, 45.9 mmol) was added. N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (9.47 g, 45.9 mmol) was added to the formed suspension under vigorous stirring. After a few seconds, a cloudy white suspension formed, the mixture was allowed to reach room temperature and stirred for 1 h. It was subsequently filtrated over celite, washed with 50 mL saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to yield a crystalline powder. Yield: 7.02 g, 61.8%
