4-Ethylphenyl isocyanate → 4-(2-Chlorobenzylamino)-3,3-dimethyl-4-oxobutyl 4-ethylphenylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(2-chlorobenzyl)-4-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylbutanamide (400 mg, 1.6 mmol) in THF (25 mL) were added 4-ethylphenylisocyanate (276 μL, 1.92 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) and DMAP (293 mg, 2.4 mmol, 1.5 equiv.). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated. The resulting residue was purified on RP-HPLC using a mixture of acetonitrile and H2O, and further purified by flash column chromatography using a mixture of hexanes and EtOAc to give 4-(2-chlorobenzylamino)-3,3-dimethyl-4-oxobutyl 4-ethylphenylcarbamate (160 mg, 25%). LRMS (M+H+) m/z 403.1.
