Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flame dried flask under a nitrogen atmosphere was added N-butyloxycarbonyl-4-(3-methyl-3-aminobutyl)benzoic acid (500 mg), piperidine (0.161 mL, 1.0 eq.), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (47 mg, 1.0 eq.), diisopropylethylamine (0.2 mL, 3.5 eq.), and 25 mL of methylene chloride. A solution of (dimethylaminopropyl)ethyl carbodiimide in 20 mL of methylene chloride was then added and the resulting solution was allowed to stir for 1 hour before diluting with ethyl acetate. This mixture was acidified with 10% aqueous citric acid. The organics were washed twice each with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate and was washed twice with 10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate, once with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound.
