Abstract

A simple and efficient protocol has been developed for the direct conversion of γ-nitro aliphatic methyl esters to N-(tertbutoxycarbonyl)amine methyl esters using NH4+HCO2- and Pd/C in the presence of (Boc)2O. There was a significant decrease in the reaction time under these conditions, increased yields and the purity of the products using this ‘one pot’ procedure.
