Reaction Steps

Combine N,N'-bis[3-(amino)butyl]-N,N'-bis[(phenyl)methyl]-1,7-diaminoheptane (13.4 g, 0.029 mol), Pearlman's Catalyst (2.0 g) and ethanol (90 ml) and treat the mixture with hydrogen gas at 45 lb/in2 until gas uptake ceases. Remove the catalyst by filtration and remove the solvent in vacuo to obtain 7.7 g of N,N'-bis[3-(amino)butyl]-1,7-diaminoheptane (Rf is 0.37 for TLC on silica gel developed with 40% conc. ammonia in methanol). Dissolve the residue in dichloromethane (90 ml) and treat the mixture with di-t-butyldicarbonate (26.2 g, 0.12 mol) for 3 hours. Remove the solvent in vacuo and purify the residue by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 25% ethyl acetate in hexane to yield 17.1 g of the title compound as a clear oil. Rf is 0.35 for TLC on silica gel developed with 25% ethyl acetate in hexane.
