Boc-Protected Amines via a Mild and Efficient One-Pot Curtius Rearrangement

Abstract: [reaction: see text] The reaction of a carboxylic acid with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate and sodium azide allowed the formation of an acyl azide intermediate, which undergoes a Curtius rearrangement in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide and zinc(II) triflate. The trapping of the isocyanate derivative in the reaction mixture led to the desired tert-butyl carbamate in high yields at low temperature. These reaction conditions are compatible with a variety of substrates, including malonate derivatives, which … Show more

“…Carbamates have been accomplished by several methods including carbonization of amines or imines by chloroformate, [28,29] or oximinoacetoacetate [30], organic acids in the presence of azides [31,32], organic carbonate under solventfree conditions [33,34] and/or metal-mediated reductive acylation of nitriles [35] or oxime carbonates [36]. In the present work, reaction of the appropriate amine with ethyl chloroformate in different solvents (chloroform, THF, and DMF) at room temperature and higher temperatures in presence of amine (triethylamine) was tried but the low solubility of compounds 3a-e prevented the reactions from going forward.…”

“…The carbamates were obtained in excellent yields (Scheme 139). Lebel and Leogane have reported [201] an efficient protocol for the preparation of tert-butyl carbamates 6 from the corresponding acid 162. The reaction of carboxylic acid 162 with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate 123 and sodium azide allowed the formation of an acyl azide 159, which undergoes a Curtius rearrangement in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide and zinc(II)triflate afforded the corresponding carbamates 6 through the trapping of isocyanate intermediate (Scheme 140).…”
