Reaction Steps

A solution of {1-[hydroxy-(N-hydroxycarbamimidoyl)-methyl]-propyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (2) (2.5 g, 10 mmol) in dichloromethane (125 mL) is treated with benzoic acid (1.36 g, 11 mmol), EDCI (2.14 g, 11 mmol), HOBT (1.37 g, 10 mmol) and triethylamine (1.35 mL, 11 mmol) and stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture is washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, then water, then dried over Na2SO4 and then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is subjected to mplc eluting with 1% triethylamine in 2:3 v/v ethyl acetate and heptane mixture to give {1-[hydroxy-(N-benzoyloxycarbamimidoyl)-methyl]-propyl}-carbamicacid tert-butyl ester (850 mg) as a solid. MS: MH+ 352.
