4-Methylmorpholine → 4-[4-(4-tert-Butoxycarbonylaminobutyl)phenylamino]butyric acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of [4-(4-aminophenyl)butyl]carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1.7 g, 6.43 mmol), 4-bromo-n-butyric acid ethyl ester (1.88 g, 9.64 mmol), 4-methylmorpholine (1.0 mL, 9.64 mmol), and DMF (10 mL) was stirred at 85° C. for 3 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 4:1, hexanes/ethyl acetate, v/v) to provide 420 (0.44 g, 18%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.23 (t, 3H), 1.47 (s, 9H), 1.55 (m, 4H), 1.96 (m, 2H), 2.43 (t, 2H), 2.51 (t, 2H), 3.19 (m, 4H), 4.14 (q, 2H), 6.54 (d, 2H), 7.00 (d, 2H). m/z (ESI) 379.
