Benzyl chloroformate → Ammonia

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (1R)-2-{[6-(2-{[3-(dimethylamino)benzyl]oxy}ethoxy)hexyl]amino}-1-(2,2-dimethyl-4H-1,3-benzodioxin-6-yl)ethanol (200 mg) in dichloromethane (10 ml) was treated under nitrogen with diisopropylethylamine (0.09 ml) followed by benzyl chloroformate (0.099 ml) and the mixture was stirred at 20° for 4 h. Saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added and the mixture extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by SPE (silica, 10 g). Elution with dichloromethane-ethanol—0.880 ammonia (250:8:1) gave the title compound (220 mg). LCMS RT=3.87 min.
