Tetrahydrofuran → Benzyl 3-(3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)benzyl)-4-oxo-1-phenyl-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of benzyl 4-oxo-1-phenyl-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (12.5 g, 34.21 mmol, 1 equiv), sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, 1M in tetrahydrofuran (37.63 ml, 37.63 mmol, 1.1 equiv), and tert-butyl 3-(bromomethyl)benzoate (9.27 g, 34.21 mmol, 1 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide was stirred for 16 h at ambient temperature. Reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with water and brine. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified using the Biotage flash chromatography system (SNAP 100 g cartridge, Rf=0.6, 10%-50% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford benzyl 3-(3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)benzyl)-4-oxo-1-phenyl-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (19 g, quant) as a cream solid; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 1.53 (s, 9H); 1.71 (d, 2H, J=13.6 Hz); 2.37-2.42 (m, 2H); 3.6 (bs, 2H); 4.01-4.03 (m, 2H); 4.61 (s, 2H); 4.64 (s, 2H); 5.14 (d, 2H, J=7.2 Hz); 6.69 (d, 2H, J=8 Hz); 6.79 (t, 2H, J=7.2 Hz); 7.16-7.2 (m, 2H); 7.32-7.39 (m, 5H); 7.49-7.56 (m, 2H); 7.81-7.85 (m, 2H); MS for C33H37N3O5 m/z 556.28 (M+H)+.
