Diisopropylethylamine → [3-(4-Methoxyquinolin-2-ylamino)propyl]carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1,1,1-trifluoromethanesulfonic acid 4-methoxyquinolin-2-yl ester (4.51 g, 14.7 mmol), tert-butyl N-(3-aminopropyl)carbamate (3.07 g, 17.6 mmol), and diisopropylethylamine (3.84 ml, 22.0 mmol) in anhydrous acetonitrile (35 ml) was heated at reflux for 6 days. The solution was cooled to ambient temperature then evaporated under reduced pressure to an oil. It was taken into water (35 ml) then extracted into ethyl acetate. The extracts were dried (sodium sulfate) then concentrated to an oil. Column chromatography on silica (1:1 ethyl acetate/hexanes) gave [3-(4-methoxyquinolin-2-ylamino)propyl]carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (3.10 g, 64%) as a colorless oil that solidified on standing. [M+H]+ 332.
