Ethylenediamine → N-BOC-ethylenediamine

Temperature

0 °C

tert-Butyl-4-nitrophenyl carbonate (1, 10 g, 0.0418 mol) dissolved in DMF (50 mL) was added dropwise over a period of 30 minutes to a solution of ethylenediamine (27.9 mL, 0.418 mol) and DMF (50 mL) and stirred overnight. The mixture was evaporated to dryness in vacuo, and the resulting oil dissolved in water (250 mL). After cooling to 0° C., the pH was adjusted to 3.5 with 4M hydrochloric acid. The solution was then filtered and extracted with chloroform (3×250 mL). The pH was adjusted to 12 (at 0° C.) with 2M sodium hydroxide, and the aqueous solution extracted with methylene chloride (3×300 mL). After treatment with a solution of saturated aqueous sodium chloride (250 mL), the methylene chloride solution was dried over magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the solution was evaporated to dryness in vacuo, resulting in 4.22 g (63%) of the product as an oil. 1H-NMR (90 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.44 (s, 9H); 2.87 (t, 2H); 3.1 (q, 2H); 5.62 (sb).
