Triethylamine → N-Methoxy-N-methyl-(2S)-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-pentenamide

Temperature

0 °C

A mixture of 306 mg (1.25 mmol) of (2S)-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-pentenoic acid and 202 mg (1.50 mmol) of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate in 10 mL of methylene chloride was cooled to 0° C. and treated with 287 mg (1.50 mmol) of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide. The cooling bath was removed and after 45 min. a solution of 365 mg (3.75 mmol) of N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride and 522 μl (3.75 mmol) of triethylamine in 10 mL of methylene chloride was added via cannula. The mixture was then stirred at 22° C. for 4 hours and then quenched with 10 mL of water and diluted with 8 mL of methylene chloride. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride (2×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with 10 mL of brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography on 75 g of silica gel using 1:9 v/v ethyl acetate/ hexane as the eluant afforded 319 mg (89%) of the title compound as a clear oil.
