Ethylmorpholine → 1-methyl-N-(1-naphthalenylmethyl)-5-oxoprolinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-methyl-5-oxoproline (0.050 g, 0.35 mmol, prepared in a manner analogous to that described above for example 51), N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.081 g, 0.42 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (0.057 g, 0.42 mmol), N-ethyl morpholine (0.166 ml, 1.05 mmol) and (1-naphthalenylmethyl)amine were combined in dichloromethane (˜8 ml) and the mixture was stirred for ˜20 hrs at room temperature. The mixture was then washed with 2M aqueous hydrogen chloride (5 ml) and the organic layer was separated using a phase separator. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, separated as before, and then evaporated. The residue was purified by mass-directed automated HPLC to give pure 1-methyl-N-(1-naphthalenylmethyl)-5-oxoprolinamide as a white solid (0.062 g).
