Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium cyanide (60 mg, 1.22 mmol, 1.3 equiv.) was added to a solution of 9-[3-(aminocarbonyl)phenoxy]nonyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (407 mg, 0.94 mmol, 1 equiv.) in water (10 ml) and 95% EtOH (8 ml), and the reaction mixture was stirred at 75° C. for 2 days. After cooling at r.t., the mixture was diluted with water (10 ml) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×10 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by column chromatography on silica eluting with EtOAc/hexane (50%), to give the desired compound as white solid (57 mg, 21%), mp 96-97° C. HPLC-MS (method 1): m/z 289 [M+H]+, Rt=4.16 min.
