1,3-Propanediamine, N'-(ethylcarbonimidoyl)-N,N-dimethyl-, monohydrochloride → 2-(6-quinolinyloxy)-N-(1-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-4-methylpent-2-yn-4-yl)butyramide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(6-Quinolinyloxy)butyric acid (0.61 g), 4-amino-1-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-4-methylpent-2-yne (0.57 g) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.010 g) in dry dichloromethane (10 ml) were stirred and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.53 g) was added. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3.5 hours, stored for 2 days, diluted with dichloromethane, washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (twice) and then with water. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a yellow oil. The oil was fractionated by chromatography (silica; hexane/ethyl acetate, 3:1 by volume) to give a gum that was triturated with hexane to give the required product (0.12 g) as a colourless solid, m.p. 78–80° C.
