Reaction Steps

To a 80° C. mixture of trans-3-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid (1 g, 7.74 mmol) and K2CO3 (3.2 g, 23.22 mmol) in CH3CN (20 mL) was added dropwise a solution of benzyl bromide (3.2 mL, 27.1 mmol) in CH3CN (10 mL). The mixture was heated at 80° C. overnight. The mixture was cooled and poured into water (150 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (100 mL*3). The combined extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by combi flash to give trans-benzyl 3-(dibenzylamino)cyclopentanecarboxylate (2.8 g, 90.6%) as a white solid.
