Reaction Steps

Diphenylphosphoryl azide (0.53 mL, 2.46 mmol) was added to a solution of 1-(3-tert-butyl-phenyl)-3-methylene-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (554 mg, 2.03 mmol) and triethylamine (0.43 mL, 3.08 mmol) in toluene (4 mL). After stirring at ambient temperature for 18 h, the solution was placed into a preheated oil bath at 80° C. Bubbling was observed. After stirring for 1 h at 80° C., the bubbling had ceased and the solution was cooled to ambient temperature. 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid was added and stirred vigorously for 3 h. The aqueous layer was made alkaline with aqueous 3 N NaOH and extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was flash chromatographed with 99:1:0.1, 49:1:0.1, 24:1:0.1, and 23:2:0.2 methylene chloride:methanol:concentrated ammonium hydroxide as the eluant to yield 12 mg (2% yield) of 1-(3-tert-butyl-phenyl)-3-methylene-cyclohexylamine.
