Propane sultone → 3-{[(1s,2s)-2-(Benzyloxy)cyclopentyl]amino}-1-propanesulfonic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1S,2S)-2-benzyloxycyclopentylamine (1.0 g, 5.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (12 mL) was slowly added 1,3-propanesultone (601 mg, 5.0 mmol). The solution was stirred at reflux for 2 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with acetone (2×25 mL) and dried in vacuo, affording the title compound (1.36 g, 87%). 1H NMR (D2O, 500 MHz) δ ppm 7.32 (m, 5H), 4.53 (d, 1H, J=11.2 Hz), 4.41 (d, 1H, J=11.2 Hz), 4.01 (m, 1H), 3.36 (m, 1H), 3.00 (t, 2H, J=7.8 Hz), 2.80 (t, 2H, J=7.8 Hz), 2.00 (m, 4H), 1.64 (m, 3H), 1.49 (m, 1H). 13C NMR (D2O, 125 MHz) δ ppm 136.99, 129.06, 129.01, 128.77, 81.78, 71.81, 63.88, 48.01, 45.33, 29.91, 27.43, 21.60, 20.93. [α]D=+31.1° (c=0.0064 in water). ES-MS 314 (M+1).
