Ethanol, 2-(cyclohexylamino)- → {1-Cyclohexyl-3-[cyclohexyl-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-carbamoyl]-propyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice cooled solution of N-cyclohexylethanolamine (0.55 g, 3.9 mmol) and 4-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-cyclohexyl-butyric acid (1.0 g, 3.5 mol), in DCM (200 mL), HOBT (0.62 g, 4.5 mmol) and TEA (1.0 mL) were added followed by addition of 1,3-dimethylamino propyl-3-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC, 0.87 g, 4.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and then stirred overnight. EtOAc (300 mL) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was then washed with aqueous citric acid solution, saturated NaHCO3 solution, and NaCl solution. The organic layer was collected, dried with MgSO4, and then evaporated to yield {1-cyclohexyl-3-[cyclohexyl-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-carbamoyl]-propyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as an oil, which was used in the next step without further purification.
