Hydrochloric Acid → tert-butyl N-(2-oxoethyl)carbamate

To a mixed solution of tert-butyl (2-hydroxyethyl)carbamate (10.0 g) in dimethyl sulfoxide (50 mL) and triethylamine (12.3 g) was added sulfur trioxide pyridine complex (15.0 g) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 3 hr, 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The separated aqueous layer was extracted again with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent:hexane-ethyl acetate=17:3→13:7) to give the title compound as a pale-yellow oil (yield 6.50 g, 66%).
