Reaction Steps

60 g of cystamine hydrochloride was solubilized in 500 mL and cooled to 5° C. The pH was raised to 10 by addition of aq. NaOH (30%). A solution of 4-chlorobutanoyl chloride (105 g) in anhydrous THF (500 mL), was added dropwise, while the pH was maintained above 7 by addition of aq. NaOH (30%). After completion of the addition and stabilization of pH at 7, the mixture mixed for 3 days. The aqueous layer was extracted with 3×500 mL dichloromethane, combined with THF layer and dried over Na2SO4. After drying under vacuum, 41 g of a white powder were collected. Analyses were in accordance with the expected structure.
