Dichloromethane → N-Boc-undecane-1,11-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using a syringe pump, a solution of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (2.50 g, 11.45 mmol) in methanol (50 mL) was added to a stirred solution of undecane 1,11-diamine (6) (3.00 g, 16.10 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (2.90 mL, 16.60 mmol) in methanol (200 mL) over 10 h, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 12 h. The reaction was then concentrated to a white solid. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel, 10:90 methanol/dichloromethane, then 20:80 (10% concentrated ammonium hydroxide in methanol)/dichloromethane) afforded the protected amine 7 (2.19 g, 67% yield) as a white solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 1.30 (br s, 14H), 1.43 (br s, 13H), 2.61 (t, 2H), 3.00 (t, 2H).
