alpha Lipoic acid → HCID 11142791, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.5 g of hydroxybenzotriazole, 10.5 g of 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate, 7.8 g of diisopropylethylamine and 3.9 g of 2-morpholino-1-ethylamine are added at room temperature to a solution of 6.2 g of thioctic acid in 180 ml of tetrahydrofuran. After 20 hours, the reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is taken up in ethyl acetate, washed and then dried over Na2SO4. Concentration under reduced pressure yields 8.4 g of the expected product.
