Facile tert‐Butoxycarbonylation of Alcohols, Phenols, and Amines using BiCl3 as a Mild and Efficient Catalyst

Abstract

Facile tert‐butoxycarbonylation of alcohols, phenols, and amines is described by treatment of alcohols, phenols, and amines with di‐tert‐butyl dicarbonate in the presence of a catalytic amount of bismuth(III) chloride, a mild and efficient catalyst, at room temperature in excellent yields.
