It is shown that the tert-butyloxycarbonylation of phenols, alcohols, enols, and thiols can be accomplished by reaction of these functionalities with di-tert-butyl bicarbonate under phase transfer conditions.The reactions proceed in high yield and can also be used for the introduction of t-BOC groups onto functionalized polymer backbones such as poly(p-hydroxystyrene).In addition, a study is made of the selectivity towards tert-butyloxycarbonilation of various polyfunctional compounds.
