Abstract
The decomposition of di-t-butyl dicarbonate which is a thermally unstable compound is inhibited. To achieve the object, a hydrocarbon compound such as hexane, cyclohexane, 1-hexene or toluene and/or a chain ether compound such as diisopropyl ether or t-butyl methyl ether are/is used as a decomposition inhibitor for di-t-butyl dicarbonate.
Claims3
A method for suppressing the decomposition of di-t-butyl dicarbonate in storage, which comprises storing di-t-butyl dicarbonate as a solution in at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon having 5 to 9 carbon atoms, unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon having 5 to 9 carbon atoms, aromatic hydrocarbon having 6 to 7 carbon atoms and dialkyl ether having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, said solution having a water content of 30,000 ppm at most.
A method for protecting an amino group of an amino group-containing compound which comprises mixing a composition consisting essentially of (a) di-t-butyl dicarbonate and (b) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon having 5 to 9 carbon atoms, unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon having 5 to 9 carbon atoms, aromatic hydrocarbon having 6 to 7 carbon atoms and dialkyl ether having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and having a water content of 30,000 ppm at most with said amino group-containing compound.
