Di-tert-butyl-iminodicarboxylate is an

alkyl halides.[1] It was popularized as an alternative to the Gabriel synthesis for the same conversion. Amines can also be prepared from alcohols by dehydration using the Mitsunobu reaction.[2]

In the usual implementation the reagent is

deprotonated to give the potassium salt, which is N-alkylated. The Boc
protecting groups are subsequently removed under acidic conditions.
