Reaction Steps

Dimethyl 3,6,9-tris(p-toluenesulfonyl)-3,6,9-triazaundecanedioate prepared as in Example 28E (16 g, 22.5 mmol) was slurried in tetrahydrofuran (100 ml). Sodium hydroxide (2N, 160 ml) was added dropwise over a 1 h period. After 72 h, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and hydrochloric acid (1N) was added to lower the pH to 4. This aqueous phase was extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate layers were washed twice with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated to give a white solid, 14.22 g (93% yield): mp 177°-80° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 2.38 and 2.40 (2 s, 9 H), 3.10 (m, 4 H), 3.29 (m, 4 H), 3.73 (s, 4 H), 7.37 and 7.41 (2 d, J=7.9, 8.2 Hz, 6 H), 7.61 and 7.66 (2 d, J=8.2 , 8.0 Hz, 6 H).
