A new simple, efficient, greener, and catalyst-free chemoselective protocol for the O-tert-butoxycarbonylation of various structurally diverse hydroxy compounds was carried out with (Boc)2O under microwave radiation. The corresponding O-tertbutoxy carbonates were obtained in good to excellent yields in a short reaction time without any side reactions.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Carbon tetrabromide (CBr4) catalyzes O-tert-butoxycarbonylation of functionalized phenols without any side reactions (bromination, addition of CBr3 to a double bond, and formation of symmetrical diaryl carbonates, cyclic carbonates, or carbonic-carbonic anhydrides). The parent phenols are regenerated from the O-t-Boc derivatives by the catalyst system CBr4-PPh3 without affecting other protecting groups (aryl alkyl ether, alkyl ester, and thioacetal) or competitive side reaction such as bromination, nitrene (from NO2) and α,α-dibromoolefine (with CHO/COMe) formation, and transesterification (with CO2Me/Et) taking place.
