A simple, efficient, and cost-effective procedure for the N-tert-butoxycarbonylation and N-formylation of amines (primary, secondary) respectively, with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate and 85% aqueous formic acid under solvent-free condition using B(OSO3H)3/SiO2 (SBSA) as a heterogeneous and recyclable catalyst has been developed. We demonstrated that the resulting catalyst is applicable to various a...

The title compound, C15H22O3, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. In each mol-ecule, one hy-droxy group (at position 2) is involved in an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond, and another one (at position 3) exhibits bifurcated hydrogen-bonding being involved in intra- and inter-molecular O-H⋯O inter-actions. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link alternating ...

In the title compound, C(18)H(24)N(2), the mol-ecular unit adopts a trans conformation around the central C-C bond [N-C-C-N torsion angle of 179.2 (3)°], with the two aromatic rings almost coplanar [dihedral angle of only 0.70 (4)°]. The crystal packing is driven by co-operative contacts involving weak C-H⋯N and C-H⋯π inter-actions, and also the need to fill effectively the available space.

The title compound, C(16)H(26)O(2), was easily obtained in high yield when 4-bromo-methyl-2,6-di-tert-butyl-phenol was reacted with methanol. There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The meth-oxy group in each of the independent mol-ecules was found to be disordered, with site-occupation factors of 0.8728 (18)/0.1272 (18) and 0.8781 (17)/0.1219 (17).

Both diastereoisomers of S-tert-butyl-beta-(trifluoromethyl)isocysteine have been synthesized stereoselectively by the sequential reactions of trifluoroacetimidoyl chloride with the lithium enolate of tert-butyl alpha-tert-butylthioacetate, followed by the diastereoselective reduction of the imino group with sodium borohydride in the presence of zinc(II) or di(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether, a...

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(17)H(24)N(2)O(5), was determined in the course of our studies on the preparation of two families of pseudopeptides, viz. hydrazino- and N-amino- peptides. The most significant inter-action in the crystal structure is a bifurcated inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond.

The title compound, C(17)H(29)NO, is an important hindered phenol derivative. The asymmetric unit contains two mol-ecules. Molecules inter-act through O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds to form a tetramer arranged around a twofold rotation axis.
