摘要

A facile synthesis of a wide variety of tert-butyl ethers and tert-butyl ester derivatives under mild conditions is described. Alcohols etherified with tert-butyl methyl ether as tert-butyl source and solvent, in the presence of sulfuric acid. Many amino acid tert-butyl esters have been synthesized by this procedure. The reaction is simple, inexpensive, easily scaled up, and proceeds without observable racemization. A green method was developed for the ...
