Benzyloxyamine hydrochloride → (2R)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-N-benzoxy-7-octenamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of (2R)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-7-octenoic acid (1.12 g, 6.51 mmol), O-benzyl hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.04 g, 6.51 mmol) and 4-dimethylamino-pyridine (1.90 g, 15.62 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL) at 0° C. was added 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (1.50 g, 7.81 mmol). After stirring at room temperature overnight, the reaction was then quenched with 1N aqueous HCl solution (25 mL) and extracted using dichloromethane (25 mL×2). The organic extracts were washed with water, brine, and dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure yielded the title compound. MH+278.
