Diethyl Ether → 5-(N-(carbobenzyloxy)amino)-5-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-pentene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of crude 5-amino-5-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-pentene (1.63 g) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) at 0° C. was added DMAP (1.15 g, 9.38 mmol) followed by Cbz-Cl (1.34 mL, 9.38 mmol) and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. Ether was added, the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether (×4), and the combined organic layers was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (5% EtOAc-95% hexanes) to provide the title compound as a white solid (1.84 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ: 3.82 (3H, s, OMe), 2.0 (4H, m).
