I have a primary amine connected through an alkoxychain to a fenyl group (so I assume it should behave as a primary amine). I protected this using
Boc2O, CH3CN and DMAP.
Both NMR and MS (twice loss of isobutene and CO2) seem to indicate it has been diprotected, but I was operating under the assumption that NHBoc was
the norm.
It doesn't pose any problems to the intended use, but I fear this might cause problems with some reviewers. Has anybody seen this before?
