Dimethylamine → Benzyl N-[3-(dimethylcarbamoyl)propyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(Benzyloxycarbonylamino)butyric acid (0.74 g, 3.12 mmol) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide, then 1-(dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.60 g, 3.13 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (0.48 g, 3.13 mmol) and dimethylamine (2.0 M tetrahydrofuran solution, 2.40 ml, 4.80 mmol) were added, followed by stirring at room temperature for 3 days. The reaction liquid was concentrated under reduced pressure, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated away under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane:methanol=70:1 to 40:1) to obtain a yellow solid (0.68 g, 82%).
