Triethylamine → HCID 54116100, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.0 g (2.16 mmol) of 3,5-bis(decyloxy)-alpha-oxobenzeneacetic acid in 50 ml of anhydrous methylene chloride and 2 drops of DMF stirred in an ice bath was added 0.94 ml (10.8 mmol) of oxalyl chloride. The cooling bath was removed and stirring was continued at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent was removed at reduced pressure and the residual acid chloride was dissolved in 40 ml of anhydrous methylene chloride and added dropwise to an ice bath cooled solution of 0.6 ml (3.2 mmol) of diethyl iminodiacetate and 0.6 ml (4.3 mmol) of triethylamine in 10 ml of methylene chloride. After stirring in the ice bath for 30 minutes and at room temperature for 18 hours, the reaction mixture was washed with NaHCO3, dried and concentrated at reduced pressure to an oil which was purified by chromatography on 25 g of 230-400 mesh silica gel using 20% ethyl acetate-hexane to give 1.2 g (91% yield) of N-[[3,5-bis(decyloxy)phenyl]-1,2-dioxoethyl]-N-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)glycine ethyl ester as an oil. The nmr and mass spectra served to confirm the structure.
