Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (R)-methyl-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-quinolinyl)carbamic acid, phenylmethyl ester (VI, EXAMPLE 5, 3.81 g, 12.86 mmol) and triethylamine (3.9 g, 39 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) is added with stirring to a mixture of phosgene (7.1 ml of a 1.93 M toluene solution) in tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) at 0°. After one hour, methoxylamine hydrochloride (2.15 g, 25.7 mmol) and triethylamine (3.9 g, 39 mmol) are added, and the mixture is stirred at 20-25° for two days. The 15 mixture is diluted with ether and washed with water and saline. The organic layer is dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The residue is sufficiently pure for the next step. An analytical sample is purified via flash chromatography (230-400 mesh silica gel; ethyl acetate/hexane, 50/50) to give the title compound, NMR (CDCl3) 2.88, 2.77-2.97, 3.75, 3.52-4.08, 4.54, 5.13, 7.10-7.27, 7.35 and 7.76 δ; IR (thin film) 1734, 1697 and 1605 cm−1; [a]25D=+38° (CH3OH, c=0.980); MS calculated for C20H23N3O4=369.1688, found=369.1682.
