Acetic Acid → 3-(2-Methoxy-ethylamino)-phthalic acid dimethyl ester

To a stirred solution of oxalyl chloride (1.75 ml, 20 mmol) in methylene chloride (20 ml) under a nitrogen atmosphere at −78° C. was added DMSO (1.42 ml, 20 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 ml) dropwise over 5 minutes. The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes followed by the dropwise addition of 2-methoxyethanol (1.58 ml, 20 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 ml) over 5 minutes. The mixture was stirred for 20 minutes followed by the dropwise addition of triethylamine (8.36 ml, 60 mmol) over 5 minutes. The resulting suspension was stirred for 30 minutes at −78° C. and then allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with methylene chloride (20 ml). To this stirred mixture was added 3-amino-phthalic acid dimethyl ester (2.09 g, 10 mmol) and acetic acid (4.60 ml, 80 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere for 5 minutes followed by the addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (4.24 g, 20 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 3 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with methylene chloride (50 ml) and washed with water (3×100 ml), saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (2×100 ml), brine (100 ml), and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue purified by chromatography (25% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 2.24 g (84%) of product as an oil. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) d 732 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 6.88-6.79 (m, 3H), 3.85 (s, 3H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 3.62 (t, J=5.4 Hz, 2H), 3.41 (s, 3H), 3.35 (q, J=5.2 Hz, 2H).
