Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-benzylamino-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (630 mg, 2.180 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) is added t-butyl bromoacetate (1 mL, 6.856 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (1.0 g, 3.069 mmol). The mixture stirs for 2 h. Then H2O (50 mL) is added the mixture is extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL), dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. The resulting solid is purified by flash chromatography (gradient elution: 0-20% EtOAc/Hep) which affords 300 mg of 4-(benzyl-tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl-amino)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-D6) δ ppm 1.24 (m, 5 H), 1.38 (m, 18 H), 1.86 (m, 4 H), 2.09 (m, 1 H), 3.14 (m, 2 H), 3.71 (m, 2 H), 7.29 (m, 5 H).
