Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → (R)-quinuclidin-3-yl 2-(benzylamino)-2-phenylacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(benzylamino)-2-phenylacetic acid (I23) (0.94 g, 3.90 mmol), DCC (0.97 g, 4.70 mmol), HOBt (0.63 g, 4.07 mmol) and 3(R)-quinuclidinol (1.51 g, 11.7 mmol) in dry THF (30 mL) is stirred at room temperature overnight under nitrogen flowstream (LC-MS monitoring: complete conversion). The solvent is evaporated and the residue is taken up with EtOAc and washed twice with water. The organic phase is dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The resulting crude is purified by flash chromatography (DCM/MeOH=98/2, 0.2% NH3(aq.) to 95/5, 0.5% NH3(aq.)) to give a mixture of diastereoisomers 1 and 2 of C24 (231 mg, 52% yield, mixture of diasteroisomers).
