Procedure

6-Aminocaproic acid (26 g, 0.2 mole) was dissolved in dichloromethane (200 mL) by the addition of triethylamine (100 mL). Trityl chloride (120 g, 0.45 mole) was added and the solution stirred for 36 hours. The resulting solution was extracted with 1N HCl and the organic layer evaporated to dryness. The residue was suspended in 2-propanol/1N NaOH (300 mL/100 mL) and refluxed for 3 hours. The solution was evaporated to a thick syrup and added to dichloromethane (500 mL). Water was added and acidified. The phases were separated, and the organic layer dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The residue was suspended in hot 2-propanol, cooled, and filtered to give 43.5 (58%) of 6-(tritylamino)caproic acid, useful as an intermediate compound.
