Diisopropylethylamine → HCID 68178609, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N-dimethylformamide (16.9 mL) was added to a vial containing (R)-4-(1-hydroxybutyl)benzoic acid (2.6 g, 13.5 mmol), ethyl 3-aminopropanoate hydrochloride (4.16 g, 27.1 mmol) and O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (10.3 g, 27.1 mmol). Diisopropylethylamine (11.8 mL, 67.7 mmol) was then added. The reaction was stirred for 1 h, and was then concentrated. Purification by column chromatography (0-50% ethyl acetate in heptane) afforded (R)-ethyl 3-(4-(1-hydroxybutyl)benzamido)propanoate (3.97 g, 100% yield) as an oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ): 7.75 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 7.40 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 6.83 (br. s., 1H), 4.74 (t, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 4.18 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.73 (q, J=5.9 Hz, 2H), 2.64 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 1.87 (br. s., 1H), 1.84-1.62 (m, 2H), 1.49-1.30 (m, 2H), 1.28 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H), 0.93 (t, J=7.3 Hz, 3H). MS (M+1): 294.
