Morpholine → Morpholine-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of morpholine (1.3 mL, 15 mmol) in isopropanol (30 mL) at rt was added trimethylsilylisocyanate (2.8 mL, 21 mmol) and the resulting solution stirred overnight before the volatiles were removed in vacuo to give morpholine-4-carboxylic acid amide (2.0 g, quant.) as a solid; 1H-NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO) 6.00 (2H, s), 3.51-3.54 (4H, s), 3.23-3.26 (4H, s).
