1,3-Propanediamine, N'-(ethylcarbonimidoyl)-N,N-dimethyl-, monohydrochloride → trans-Cinnamamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The amine bis-hydrochloride (from Step 4) (68.2 mg, 0.19 mmol), the lithium carboxylate prepared in Step 3, 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (72.8 mg, 0.38 mmol) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (30.8 mg, 0.23 mmol) are dissolved in pyridine (2 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 72 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated. The residue is dissolved in CH2Cl2 (40 ml) and washed with H2O (20 ml), brine (20 ml), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue is dissolved in CH3OH/CH2Cl2, absorbed onto silica gel and is purified on a Biotage 12M column with SIM using 2% CH3OH (saturated with NH3) in CH2Cl2 as the eluent to afford 56.2 mg (0.096 mmol, 51%) of the desired cinnamide. 1H-NMR (DMSO) δ: 8.66, 8.48, 8.02, 7.64, 7.49, 7.40, 7.35, 6.70, 4.86, 4.22, 3.84, 3.60.
