Reaction Steps

Various esters of DTPA were prepared from diethylenetriamine, 6. The primary amines could be selectively protected as the di-trifluoroacetamide by reaction with ethyl trifluoroacetate to produce 9 in good yield. Reaction of 9 with 3 equivalents of ethylbromoacetate and NaH produced the triester 10. Reaction of 9 with 1 equivalent of ethylbromoacetate produced the monoester 11.
