Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties White to off-white microcrystalline powder
Chemical Properties Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (Boc2O) and di-tert-butyl tricarbonate ((BocO)2CO) have been used as amine carbonylating reagents to obtain linear or branched aliphatic isocyanates.
most of the known methods for transforming amines into isocyanates are not mild enough and furnish undefined products as a result of uncontrolled side reactions. However, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP)-catalyzed reaction with activated carbonates as C1 building blocks constitutes a convenient laboratory method for the phosgene-free isocyanation of amines. A procedure has been described whereby alkyl- and arylamines are converted into isocyanates in high yields by reaction with activated carbonates (for example, di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, Boc2O) in the presence of a catalytic amount of a nucleophilic nitrogen base at room temperature.
Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (Boc2O) is a widely used reagent for introducing protecting groups in peptide synthesis. The reaction of substituted anilines with Boc2O in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) in an inert solvent (acetonitrile, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, toluene) at room temperature leads to aryl isocyanates in almost quantitative yields within 10 min.
Uses Reagent commonly used in organic chemistry for the introduction of the BOC protecting group.
Uses reagent for t-BOC-protected amines
Uses Reagent for the preparation of Boc-amino acids and peptides in high yields.
Purification Methods Melt the ester by heating at ~35o, and distil it in a vacuum. If IR and NMR ( 1810m 1765 cm-1 , in CCl4 1.50 singlet) suggest very max impure, then wash with an equal volume of H2O containing citric acid to make the aqueous layer slightly acidic, collect the organic layer and dry it over anhydrous MgSO4 and distil it in a vacuum.

Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate is a reagent widely used in organic synthesis. This carbonate ester reacts with amines to give N-tert-butoxycarbonyl or so-called Boc derivatives. These derivatives do not behave as amines, which allows certain subsequent transformations to occur that would have otherwise affected the amine functional group. The Boc can later be removed from the amine using acids. Thus, Boc serves as a protective group, for instance in solid phase peptide synthesis. It is unreactive to most bases and nucleophiles, allowing for an orthogonal Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl chloride (FMOC-Cl) protection.
