Methyl iodide → 4-(3-Adamantan-1-yl-ureido)butyric Acid Methyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)butyric acid 822 (0.15 g, 0.54 mmol), K2CO3 (0.09 g, 0.64 mmol), and iodomethane (0.04 mL, 0.59 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 20 h. Then the product was extracted with ether (20 mL), and the ether was washed with 1 N NaOH aqueous solution (20 mL) and brine (20 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated to afford 0.15 g (95%) of 883: 1H NMR (CDCl3) 1.66-1.68 (6H, m), 1.81 (2H, quint, J=6.9 Hz), 1.94-1.97 (6H, m), 2.05-2.07 (3H, m), 2.37 (2H, t, J=6.9 Hz), 3.16 (2H, q, J=6.9 Hz), 3.68 (3H, s), 4.09 (1H, s), 4.25 (1H, s); LC-MS (ESI) m/z calcd for C16H26N2O3 [M+H]+ 295.19, found [M+H]+ 295.24; mp 114 C. Anal. (C16H26N2O3) C, H, N.
