Sodium Hydroxide → N-{2-[4-((R)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylethylamino)phenyl]ethyl}-(R)-2-hydroxy-2-(3-formamido-4-benzyloxyphenyl) ethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Intermediate 5 (5.2 g, 8.1 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (26 mL) and triethylamine trihydrofluoride (1.4 mL, 8.6 mmol) was added. The solution was stirred for 20 h. The reaction was quenched by addition of water (7.6 mL) followed by 10.0 N sodium hydroxide (3.8 mL, 38 mmol). After 3 min, the reaction was diluted with isopropyl acetate (20 mL) and transferred to a separatory funnel. The mixture was shaken and the biphasic mixture was filtered through celite to remove undissolved solids. The filtrate was returned to a separatory funnel and the phases were separated. The organic layer was washed with a mixture of 9 mL water and 9 mL saturated aqueous sodium chloride followed by 15 mL of saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford the product 6 as a brown gelatinous solid (4.2 g, 8.0 mmol, 99%). m/z: [M+H+] calcd for C32H35N3O4 526.3. Found 526.4.
