Procedure

A solution of 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol (15.7 g, 130 mmol) and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (31.1 g, 143 mmol) in methanol (400 mL) and water (40 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 72 h. The contents of the flask were concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting white solid was dissolved in minimal hot ethyl acetate and allowed to recrystallise overnight. The crystals were filtered and washed with petroleum ether to give N-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)propan-2-yl)pivalamide (26.5 g, 130 mmol, 100%) as fluffy, white needles. To a solution of N-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)propan-2-yl)pivalamide (9.50 g, 42.0 mmol) and 2,2-dimethoxypropane (16.0 mL, 129 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was added pyridinium para-toluenesulfonate (0.540 g, 2.15 mmol) at RT. The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 15 h. after which time the reaction was complete by TLC (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate, 4:1, visualised with Erlichs). The reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether, washed three times with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, once with brine, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting semi-solid was recrystallised from minimal hot petroleum ether to give N-(5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)pivalamide (7.32 g, 65%) as white crystals. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 5.31 (br s, 1H, NH), 4.18 (br s, 1H, OH), 3.85 (d, J=11.5 Hz, 2H), 3.80 (d, J=11.5 Hz, 2H), 3.70 (d, 6.6 Hz, 2H), 1.46 (s, 12H), 1.44 (s, 3H). 13C NMR (CDCl3): δ 154.0, 98.8, 80.5, 64.8, 64.5 (2C), 53.4, 28.3 (3C), 26.9, 20.3.
