N-((1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl)-beta-alanine → (S)-3-tert-Butoxycarbonylamino-1-[4-({[2-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-1-methylethyl]ethylamino}methyl)piperidin-1-yl]-propan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-β-alanine (0.31 grams, 165 mmole) in dichloromethane (5 ml) was added N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole (0.3 grams, 185 mmole). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. To the reaction mixture was added a solution of (S)-N-[2-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-1-methylethyl]-N-ethyl-(piperidine-4-ylmethyl)amine (0.5 grams, 1.65 mmole) in dichloromethane (2 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using 2% methanol in dichloromethane containing 0.1% ammonium hydroxide. Appropriate fractions were combined and concentrated to give (S)-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-1-[4-({[2-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-1-methylethyl]-ethylamino}methyl)piperidin-1-yl]propan-1-one as a solid (0.76 grams, 97%).
