Tyramine → HCID 59717865, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

As shown in scheme 5, tyramine is protected as the t-butyl carbamate 22 and then reacted with 4-fluoronitrobenzene with cesium carbonate in DMF to yield the corresponding biarylether, {2-[4-(4-nitro-phenoxy)-phenyl]ethyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (19). Compound 19 is reduced by catalytic hydrogenation with palladium on carbon at the nitro group to afford the amine 23. Compound 23 is then N-acylated with acetyl chloride to afford the N-acyl compound 25. The t-Boc protecting group is removed from compound 25 using TFA in dichloromethane and the resulting amine 26 is reacted with various aldehydes under reductive amination conditions to afford compound 27.
