Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In 70 ml of dichloromethane are dissolved 13 ml of 2-methyl-1-butanol and 17 g of 1-chloroethyl chloroformate, and the solution is cooled to 0° C. With stirring, a solution of 9.6 ml of pyridine in 30 ml of dichloromethane is added dropwise, and the mixture is stirred for 30 minutes. The salt precipitate is collected by filtration and the filtrate is washed with two 200-ml portions of water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent is then distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue is further distilled under reduced pressure to give 12.5 g of 1-chloroethyl 2-methylbutyl carbonate.
