Phenacyl bromide → (3R)-3-(2-(ethoxycarbonylamino)-2-phenylacetoxy)-1-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-quinuclidin-3-yl 2-(ethoxycarbonylamino)-2-phenylacetate (C34) (60.0 mg, 0.18 mmol) in EtOAc (2 ml) and acetonitrile (0.5 ml), was added 2-bromo-1-phenylethanone (39.5 mg, 0.20 mmol). The reaction was stirred at RT for 15 hours, and the solvent was evaporated. The resulting solid was triturated in i-Pr2O/EtOAc (1/1) to obtain (3R)-3-(2-(ethoxycarbonylamino)-2-phenylacetoxy)-1-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide (76 mg; 80% yield).
