A convenient synthesis of N-boc protected primary amines via the reaction of organoboranes with Li or K t-butyl-N-tosyloxycarbamate

Primary and secondary alkylboranes reacted rapidly at low temperature with Li or K t-butyl-N-tosyloxycarbamate (LiBTOC or KBTOC) to give the corresponding N-Boc protected primary amines in modest to good yields (16-81%).
