Benzyl chloroformate → Benzyl but-3-en-1-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyl chloroformate (38 g, 0.22 mol) was added at 0° C. over 15 minutes to a mixture of but-3-en-1-amine (10 g, 0.14 mol) and sodium bicarbonate (35 g, 0.52 mol) in DCM (500 mL) and water (40 mL). The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with DCM. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether/EtOAc) to afford benzyl but-3-en-1-ylcarbamate. MS ESI calc'd. for C12H16NO2 [M+H]+ 206. found 206. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.36-7.30 (m, 5H), 5.80-5.70 (m, 1H), 5.11-5.01 (m, 4H), 3.79-3.25 (m, 2H), 2.29-2.24 (m, 2H).
