Triethylamine → tert-Butyl methylsulfonylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (2.2 mL, 16 mmol), di-tert-butyldicarbonate (2.65 g, 12.1 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.096 g, 0.79 mmol) were added sequentially to a solution of methanesulfonamide (0.75 g, 7.9 mmol) in methylene chloride (20 mL) at room temperature. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and then concentrated. EtOAc was added, and the resultant mixture was washed with 1N aq. HCl solution, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give the desired product (1 g) to be used in the next step directly.
