Mescaline → (S)-N-(3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzyl)-N-methyl-2-[N'-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-allylamino]-3-phenyl-propionamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine (S)-2-[N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-allylamino]-3-phenyl-propioic acid (0.91 g, 2.97 mmol), (3,4,5-trimethoxy)-benzylmethylamine (0.63 g, 2.97 mmol), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.63 g, 3.27 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (0.349 g, 3.27 mmol), and diisopropylethylamine (0.77 mL, 6.27 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL) and stir for 18 hours. Dilute with ethyl acetate and extract with 1M hydrochloric acid, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. Dry the separated organic layer over MgSO4, filter and evaporate in vacuo. Chromatograph on silica gel eluting with 30% ethyl acetate/hexane to give the title compound: TLC Rf =0.30 (silica gel, 30% ethyl acetate/hexane).
