Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl chlorooxoacetate (2.5 g, 20.7 mmol) was added dropwise to a mixture of tert-butyl trans-4-(4-aminophenyl)cyclohexanecarboxylate (3.8 g, 13.8 mmol) and pyridine (2.2 mL, 27.6 mmol) in DCM (40 mL) at 10° C. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 16 h and then quenched with water. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with brine. The organic layer was dried and concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by chromatography, eluting with 10-50% ethyl acetate in isohexane, to give the title compound (4.0 g, 80%) as an oil; 1H NMR δ 1.4 (9H, s), 1.4-1.55 (4H, m), 1.8-1.9 (2H, m), 1.9-2.05 (2H, m), 2.2-2.3 (1H, m), 2.4-2.6 (1H, m), 3.75 (3H, s), 7.2 (2H, d), 7.65 (2H, d); MS m/e (M−H)− 360.
