Triethylamine → (+/-)-4-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)butanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (5.49 g, 54.3 mmol) and 1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-ol (7.5 g, 49 mmol) were added to a solution of the (+/−)-4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)butanoic acid (9.1 g, 27.1 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL). After 10 minutes O-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2yl-hydroxylamine (4.6 g, 39 mmol) was added followed by N1-((ethylimino)methylene)-N3,N3-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine hydrochloride (EDCI) (7.2 g, 38 mmol). After 12 h the reaction was quenched by the addition of saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The layers were separated and the organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel (hexanes/ethyl acetate 7:3-6:4) afforded the title compound as a white solid (9.0 g, 76%).
