Morpholine → (2-Morpholin-4-yl-2-oxo-1-phenylethyl)carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butoxycarbonylaminophenylacetic acid (4.0 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (8.0 mL) is added morpholine (4.0 mmol), EDCl—H2O (4.8 mmol) and DMAP (0.40 mmol) at room temperature. After stirring at room temperature for 24 h, the reaction is quenched by the addition of water. The mixture is extracted with AcOEt. The combined organic extracts are washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting solid is triturated with ether-n-hexane to give the title compound; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.41 (s, 9H), 3.08-3.12 (m, 1H), 3.20-3.28 (m, 1H), 3.39-3.45 (m, 1H), 3.49-3.60 (m, 3H), 3.66-3.76 (m, 2H), 5.54 (d, 1H), 6.01 (d, 1H), 7.29-7.36 (m, 5H).
