Participants

Reaction Steps

Boc-D-Tic-OH (14.9 g, 53.7 mmol), methoxymethylamine hydrochloride (5.24 g, 53.7 mmol), EDC (11.3 g, 59.1 mmol), HOBT (7.98 g, 59.1 mmol), DIEA (9.83 ml, 59.1 mmol) and THF (500 ml) were combined, and the resulting mixture was stirred for about 18 hours at r.t. under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was taken up in ethyl acetate. The resulting mixture was washed with 1M HCl, saturated NaHCO3 and brine, which was then dried via filtration through phase separator paper. Removal of solvent gives a residue, which was chromatographed on silica gel using (1:1 ethylacetate /hexane) to give about 12.3 g of Boc-D-Tic-NMeOMe (Weinreb amide).
