Triethylamine → 2-Methylpentane

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Propanephosphonic acid cyclic anhydride (1.57M solution in THF, 0.64 mL) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 1-oxa-4,9-diazaspiro[5.5]undecane-9-carboxylate hydrochloride (WuXi PharmaTech) (0.26 g), 5-methylthiophene-2-carboxylic acid (0.142 g) and triethylamine (0.84 mL) in DMF (8 mL) and the resulting mixture stirred for 16 h. The reaction mixture was poured into water (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 mL). The combined organic solutions were washed with water (2×100 mL) and brine (100 mL), then dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. Purification was by silica gel chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate:isohexane, 1:1 to give the subtitled compound as a clear oil. Yield 0.32 g.
