2-Chloroethyl methyl ether → HCID 53684166, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen, to dimethylsulfoxide (5 ml) was added potassium hydroxide (34 mg) at room temperature, and the suspension was stirred at the same temperature for 40 minutes. To this one were added N-benzyl-N-(3-hydroxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-6-yl)-tert-butoxycarbonylamine (200 mg) and 2-chloroethyl methyl ether (55 μl), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The resulting mixture was poured into saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1 to 5:1) to give N-benzyl-N-[3-(2-methoxyethoxy)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-6-yl]-tert-butoxycarbonylamine (213 mg).
