N1-{(1S,2R)-1-[4-(benzyloxy)benzyl]-2-hydroxy-3-[(3-methoxybenzyl)amino]propyl}-N3-[4-(benzyloxy)butyl]-5-methyl-N3-propylisophthalamide → N1-(4-hydroxybutyl)-N3-{(1S)-2-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-3-[(3-methoxybenzyl)amino]propyl}-5-methyl-N1-propylisophthalamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N1-{(1S,2R)-1-[4-(benzyloxy)benzyl]-2-hydroxy-3-[(3-methoxybenzyl)amino]propyl}-N3-[4-(benzyloxy)butyl]-5-methyl-N3-propylisophthalamide (X, 100 mg, 0.130 mmol) and palladium on carbon (10%, 100 mg) in absolute glacial acetic acid (5 mL) is shaken under an atmosphere of hydrogen at 35 psi for 5 hours. The resulting mixture is filtered through diatomaceous earth and washed with methanol. The combined filtrates are concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrate is purified by flash column chromatography (silica; gradient of dichloromethane/methanol/ammonium hydroxide 97/3/0.05 to 93/7/0.05) to give the title compound: NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD): δ 7.55-6.64, 4.19, 3.99-3.72, 3.63-3.36, 3.21-3.09, 2.79-2.69, 2.39, 1.90-1.40, 1.29 and 1.02-0.6; ESI-MS (m/z) [M+H]+=592.
