Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 250 mL round bottom flask was added crude (S)-2-(dibenzylamino)-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid, DMF (700 mL), N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (25.3 g, 259 mmol), TEA (36.0 mL, 259 mmol), 3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-ol (17.6 g, 130 mmol), and 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (26.7 g, 130 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. After 18 hours, the mixture was diluted with 1 L ether, and the precipitate was filtered through a coarse scintered glass funnel washing with ether. The filtrate was washed with brine (4×200 mL) and the organic layer was again passed through a coarse scintered glass funnel. The aqueous layer was extracted with ether (200 mL), and the combined ether layers were washed with brine (100 mL) and passed through a coarse scintered glass funnel. The organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated providing a cloudy yellow oil. The oil was passed through a medium scintered glass funnel washing with ether, and the filtrate was evaporated to provide a clear yellow oil. The crude product was loaded onto a 1.5 kg silica gel column in hexane and eluted at 400 mL/minute 0% to 70% EtOAc in hexane to provide (S)-2-(dibenzylamino)-N-methoxy-N-methyl-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanamide (26.52 g, 67.3% yield) as a light yellow oil.
