Reaction Steps

3-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)propyl methanesulfonate (Intermediate 31) (0.075 g, 0.21 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (0.015 g, 0.04 mmol) were dissolved in a solution of dimethylamine in THF (2M, 5.153 mL, 10.31 mmol) and sealed into a microwave tube. The reaction was heated to 150° C. for 30 minutes in the microwave reactor and cooled to ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with DCM (25 mL) and washed with water (25 mL). The organic layer was filtered through a phase-separating filter paper and evaporated. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 4 to 8% (10:1 MeOH/conc. NH3 (aq)) in DCM. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford tert-butyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(dimethylamino)propylcarbamate (0.054 mg, 84%) as a colourless oil.
