Potassium Hydroxide → Morpholin-4-yl-acetic acid potassium salt

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of morpholin-4-yl-acetic acid ethyl ester (117 mg, 0.67 mmol) in ethanol (4 mL) was added 6N KOH (110 μL, 0.67 mmol) via syringe and stirring was continued for 3 h. Concentration in vacuo afforded 122 mg (100%) of morpholin-4-yl-acetic acid potassium salt. To a mixture of morpholin-4-yl-acetic acid potassium salt (29 mg, 0.15 mmol), 4-cyano-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (2-cyclohex-1-enyl-4-piperidin-4-yl-phenyl)-amide trifluoroacetic acid salt (65.1 mg, 0.13 mmol, as prepared in Example 14, step (b)) and PyBroP (93 mg, 0.19 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4 mL) was added DIEA (51 μL, 0.29 mmol) and the reaction was allowed to stir overnight. The reaction was diluted with CH2Cl2 (50 mL), washed with H2O (2×25 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the crude product by silica gel preparative TLC afforded 8.1 mg (12%) of the title compound as a white solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3; 400 MHz): δ 1.68-2.04 (m, 5H), 2.20-2.29 (m, 4H), 2.53-2.78 (m, 5H), 3.09-3.23 (m, 6H), 3.35-3.40 (m, 1H), 3.72 (br s, 4H), 4.16-4.22 (m, 1H), 4.73-4.77 (m, 1H), 5.82 (s, 1H), 7.00 (s, 1H), 7.12 (dd, 1H, J=0.6, 8.0 Hz), 7.73 (s, 1H), 8.27 (d, 1H, J=8.1 Hz), 9.48 (s, 1H); Mass spectrum (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C28H34N6O3, 503.27 (M+H). found 503.1.
