“…The product was purified on a silica gel column, eluting with 3 : 1 hexane-ethyl acetate to give powdery biphenyl 2-amino-4Ј-tert-butyl carbamate (the free base of 19, R = BocNH; 285 mg, 22%); mp 140-141 ЊC; 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 ) δ 1.55 (s, 9 H), 3.75 (br, 2 H), 6.5 (br, 1 H), 6.8 (m, 2 H), 7.1 (m, 2 H), 7.4 (q, 4 H); 13 C NMR CDCl 3 δ 28. 4 In a second experiment, the reaction time was extended to 15 h with heating at reflux. The product from the aqueous layer was the same as at the 1.5 h reflux experiment, but the crude product after evaporation of the organic layer was different as analyzed by HPLC on a C18 column, eluting with 0.06% TFA in acetonitrile and water (50 : 50) at 254 nm and a flow rate of 1 mL min Ϫ1 .…”
