Deshmukh and co-workers attempted similar triphosgene-TEA chlorination in THF at -20°C using α-branched a diaminoalcohol as a crude dihydrochloride salt (en route to their formal synthesis of (+)-biotin) to give the corresponding chloride in modest yield. Interestingly, when pure 6c was treated under these conditions, the reaction predominantly produced diethylcarbamate 7c and the chlorination product was not observed. We hypothesized that perhaps the rate of chloride substitution in Deshmukh's chemistry was tremendously amplified by the excess residual chloride ions obtained upon evaporation of the 20% HCl/MeOH deprotection solution which was employed to remove the N -Boc precursor
