1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 4-[4-(3-Adamantan-1-yl-ureido)-butyryloxymethyl]-benzoic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)butyric acid 822 (1.23 g, 0.83 mmol), DMAP (0.05 g, 0.42 mmol), and the above alcohol (0.15 g, 0.83 mmol) in methylene chloride (30 mL) was added EDCI (0.16 g, 0.83 mmol) at room temperature. After stirring for 12 h, the reaction mixture was washed with 1 N NaOH aqueous solution (15 mL) and water (30 mL), and the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. Then the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting hexane and ethyl acetate (5:1) to provide 849 (0.28 g, 75%) as a white solid: 1H NMR (CDCl3) 1.40 (3H, t, J=6.9 Hz), 1.66-1.68 (6H, m), 1.84 (2H, quint, J=6.9 Hz), 1.94-1.96 (6H, m), 2.05-2.07 (3H, m), 2.44 (2H, t, J=6.9 Hz), 3.17 (2H, q, J=6.9 Hz), 4.02 (1H, s), 4.17 (1H, s), 4.38 (2H, q, J=6.9 Hz), 5.17 (2H, s), 7.40 (2H, d, J=7.8 Hz), 8.00 (2H, d, J=7.8 Hz); LC-MS (ESI) m/z calcd for C25H34N2O5 [M+H]+ 443.25. found [M+H]+ 443.25; mp 96-99 C. Anal. (C25H34N2O5) C, H, N.
