Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 80° C. solution of isoamylamine (2.0 g, 22.9 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (9 mL) and water (3 mL) was added via syringe pump (1 h addition) a solution of 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-propane sulfonic acid, sodium salt (3.04 g, 15.3 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (9.5 mL) and water (0.5 mL). The solution was stirred overnight at 80° C. The solvent was evaporated. The product was passed through an ion exchange column (Dowex 50×8, 100 g, solvent: water). It was recrystallized in absolute EtOH and lyophilized. Yield: 27%. 1H NMR (H2O, 500 MHz) δ ppm 4.24 (m, 1H), 3.22 (m, 1H), 3.02 (m, 5H), 1.49 (m, 3H), 0.79 (d, 3H, J=6.3 Hz). 13C(H2O, 125 MHz) δ ppm 63.54, 54.89, 51.53, 46.48, 34.12, 25.46, 21.56, 21.46. ES-MS 226 (M+1).
