Hydrochloric Acid → Benzyl 2-methyl-1-oxo-1-(2-oxoethylamino)propan-2-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl 1-(2,2-dimethoxyethylamino)-2-methyl-1-oxopropan-2-ylcarbamate (0.52 g, 1.6 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added 5 M hydrochloric acid (10 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature until TLC showed the reaction was completed. Ethyl acetate (50 mL) was added and the phases were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine (4×30 mL) to pH=6-7, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to yield product (0.445 g, 100%) as yellow oil, which was used directly in the next step without purification; MS: m/e 279.1 [M+H]+.
