HCID 6342AcetonitrileSolvent

Procedure

N-Boc-Ethylene diamine (800 mg, 5 mmol) and m-tolyl isocyanate (665 mg, 5 mmol) were dissolved in acetonitrile and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 4 hrs. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue absorbed onto silica gel; prior to purification by flash column chromatography (silica, hexane:EtOAc 1:1) to yield the desired compound as a white solid (300 mg, 21%) (MS (+ESI, m/e) 294 (M+H)+). The N-Boc protected compound (300 mg, 1.02 mmol) was dissolved in formic acid (10 ml) and the mixture stirred at room temperature overnight. Excess acid was removed to yield the formate salt of the title compound as a white foam (210 mg).
