Water → Tert-butyl 3-(benzylamino)-3-(2-fluorobenzyl)cyclohexylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the solution of tert-butyl 3-(benzylimino)cyclohexylcarbamate (4 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added a solution of (2-fluorobenzyl)magnesium chloride in ether (9 mmol, 0.25 M, 36 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for overnight. The reaction mixture was added to the iced water. The organics were extracted using EtOAc from the aqueous mixture. The EtOAc solution was concentrated. The product, tert-butyl 3-(benzylamino)-3-(2-fluorobenzyl)cyclohexylcarbamate, was purified by column chromatography on silica gel.
