Reaction Steps

The 4-(1,3-dioxacyclopent-2-yl)benzylamine is condensed with octanoic acid in dichloromethane in the presence of a peptide coupling system consisting of DCC and HOBt according to a method already described (Ouari O.; Polidori A.; Pucci B.; Tordo P.: Chalier F. J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 3554-3556) and then the dioxolane protecting group is removed by treatment in a 1:1, v/v, acetic acid/water mixture. Compound 3 is subsequently purified by silica gel chromatography (eluent: cyclohexane/EtOAc, 6:4, v/v) to give a white powder with a yield of 40% from the 4-cyanobenzaldehyde.
