Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-aminoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal (0.526 g mL, 5.0 mmol) and paraformaldehyde 90.15 g, 5 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) at 55° C. was added N-(3,4-dichloro-benzyl)-2-(2,2-dimethyl-5-oxo-[1,3]dioxolan-4-ylidene)-N-methyl-acetamide (1.715 g, 5.0 mmol). After 45 min, the reaction mixture was cooled and purified by preparative HPLC on a C18 reverse phase column using acetonitrile (40–50%)/water (0.1% TFA) as eluent. The fractions containing the desired product were combined, concentrated and lyophilized to yield the title compound as an amber oil (0.68 g, 34% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 10.81 (bs, 1H), 7.42 (d, 1H, J=8.1), 7.35 (d, 1H, J=1.8), 7.10 (dd, 1H, J=8.1, J=1.8), 4.59 (s, 2H), 4.47 (t, 1H, J=5.1), 4.27 (s, 2H), 3.59 (d, 2H, J=5.1), 3.38 (s, 6H), 3.02 (s, 3H). HRMS (M+Na) calcd for C17H20N2Cl2O5Na: 425.0647. found: 425.0647.
