Di-/-butyl dicarbonate

The first synthesis of the parent compound of the benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-f]pyrrole ring system 387 <2003T1477> and its derivatives was accomplished using the same synthetic sequence (Scheme 42). Starting with 2-methyl-benzo[ ]thiophene-3-carbaldehyde 388, an intermediate 389 was obtained. Treatment of bromo compound 389 with sodium azide in ethanol led to the stable triazoline 390. 1,3-Dipolar cycloreversion of 390 was induced by a catalytic amount of />-TsOH to give the parent 2//-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyrrole 387. Alternatively, direct treatment of bromo compound 389 with excess ammonia furnished 387 in one step. Compound 387 was treated with di-/-butyl dicarbonate and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) to give iV-BOC derivative 391. Reaction of 389 with...

Isoxazolines were converted to 1,3-amino alcohols by polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS)-Pd(OH)2/C. When the reduction was performed in the presence of di-/-butyl dicarbonate [(Boc)20], /V-Boc protected compounds were directly achieved. For example, N-Boc aminols 55 were synthesized from the corresponding isoxazolines 54 in one step and in 78-88% yields <04SL1303>.

Amino groups can be blocked by converting them into carbamates through simple addition-elimination reactions (p. 901).Two popular methods involve the transformation of the free amine into a carbamate by reaction with either di- -butyl dicarbonate or benzyl chloroformate. Biochemists are even more addicted to acronyms than are organic chemists, and these protecting groups are called tBoc and Cbz, respectively (Fig. 23.45). 

The nocardicin nucleus 3-aminonocardicinic acid (3-ANA) (7) has not been found in nature, but can be prepared by deacylation of nocardicin C using microbial amidases 10). The first chemical method leading to (7) involved acid treatment of the bisthiourea derivative (8) of nocardicin C 11). A more recent method 12) makes use of the reaction of the oxime grouping of nocardicin A with di-/-butyl dicarbonate. This results in (9) which on treatment with trifluoroacetic acid gives (7). Further confirmation of the structure and stereochemistry of the nocardicins was the identification of the acylamino-derivative (10) derived from 3-ANA, with a compound obtained by partial synthesis from penicillin G 11). Another semi-synthetic approach (75) to the nocardicins from penicillin is by way of the thiazoline (11), the final step being Raney nickel desulphurisation of (12). 

Indole (10mmol) was added to dry CH3CN (20 ml) and the mixture stirred while DMAP (122 mg, 1,00 mmol) and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (2.62 g. 12 mmol) were added. Evolution of gas was noted and stirring was continued... 

B. Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate. A solution of 20.0 g. (0.076 mole) of di-i-butyl tricarbonate in 75 ml. of carbon tetrachloride is placed in a 600-ml. beaker fitted with a magnetic stirrer, and 0.10 g. (0.0009 mole) of freshly sublimed l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) is added (Note 9). Rapid evolution of carbon dioxide begins at once. The reaction mixture is stirred at 25° for 45 minutes to complete the loss of carbon dioxide (Note 10), and then 35 ml. of water, containing sufficient citric acid to make the aqueous layer slightly acidic, is added. The layers are separated and the organic layer is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated at 25° with a rotary evaporator. The residual liquid is distilled under reduced pressure to separate 13.3-15.1 g. (80-91%) of di-butyl dicarbonate as a colorless liquid, b.p. 55-56° (0.15 mm.) or 62-65° (0.4 mm.) n T> 1.4071-1.4072 (Note 11). 

A number of less-hazardous reagents that can be substituted for tert-hutyl azidoformate in tert-butoxycarbonylation reactions are available including 2-(te/t-butoxycarbonyloxyimino)-2-phenylacetonitrile (Aldrich Chemical Company), 0-teri-hutyl N-phenyl thiocarbonate (Eastman Organic Chemicals), di-butyl dicarbonate and tert-butyl phenyl carbonate. ... 

The functionalized allene, DIMETHYL 2,3-PENTADIENEDIOATE, the first in the series, is an intriguing substrate for various addition and cycloaddition reactions. Finally, a new reagent, DI-ferf-BUTYL DICARBONATE, for he formation of A-f-BOC derivatives which eliminates the use o the hazardous fert-BUTYL AZIDOFORMATE (WARNING) is intrqduced. 

Amino groups are often protected as their tert-butoxycarbonvl amide, or Boc, derivatives. The Boc protecting group is introduced by reaction of the amino acid with di-fert-butyl dicarbonate in a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction and is removed by brief treatment with a strong organic acid such as trifluoro-acetic acid, CF3C02H.

Certain reagents promote ring opening and subsequent cyclization to give other heterocycles. For example, di-tert-butyl dicarbonate induces the stereoselective ring transformation of N-alkyl aziridines 159 into oxazolidin-2-ones 160 <96TET2097>.
