Reaction Steps

Adapting literature known protocols (Tercel, et al., J. Med. Chem. 1995, 38, 1247-1252; U.S. Pat. No. 5,602,278; Kirkpatrick, et al., Anti-Cancer Drugs, 1994, 5, 467-472; and U.S. Pat. No. 7,399,785), tert-butyl 4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-[4-(2-chloroethoxy(2-chloroethyl)amino)-2-methyl-phenyl]-3-methyl-butanoate (24a) is prepared by adding 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (1.42 g, 80 wt-%, 6.6 mmol) to a solution of tert-butyl 3-[4-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]-2-methyl-phenyl]-4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-methyl-butanoate (7o) (2.52 g, 5.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (DCM) (30 mL) at about room temperature for about 2 h. The reaction is followed by TLC and/or LC/MS till completion. After quenching with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate (NaHCO3), the reaction mixture is extracted with DCM (3×). Further aqueous work-up and purification by silica gel column chromatography yield the title compound (24a).
