Reaction Steps

Methyl [3-(tetrahydropyran-2-ylthio)propyl]thioacetate (1 g, 3.7 mmol) was added dropwise to N-(2-aminoethyl)-acetamide (1.25 g, 12.25 mmol) and the mixture heated at 75° C. for 2.5 h. Volatile components were then removed under reduced pressure (45° C. at 0.02 mmHg) to give an oil which was taken up into water. This aqueous solution was then extracted with dichloromethane (adding potassium chloride to the aqueous layer to prevent emulsion formation if necessary). The dichloromethane extracts were then dried (MgSO4), filtered, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give the crude N-(2-acetylaminoethyl)-3-(tetrahydropyran-2-ylthio)propylthioacetamide. A pure sample of this material (0.25 g, 22%) was obtained by reverse phase h.p.l.c. using aqueous methanol as the eluant.
