Triethylamine → HCID 28801823, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of heptamethyleneimine (254 μl; 2 mmol; 1 eq) and boc-beta-alanine (416.3 mg; 2.20 mmol; 1.10 eq) in DCM (30 ml), are added triethylamine (832 μl; 6 mmol; 3 eq) and 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide (1533 mg; 6 mmol; 3 eq). The mixture is stirred overnight at RT. The reaction is followed by TLC (cyclohexane/EtOAc 1:1). The reaction mixture is then washed twice with NH4Cl sat. solution and twice with NaHCO3 sat. solution. The organic layer is dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give 1.066 g of an orange oil, which is purified by flash chromatography (cyclohexane/EtOAc gradient, from 9/1 to 1/1 over 30 min). The title product is isolated as a slightly yellow solid (477 mg; 84%).
