Triethylamine → 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)butanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(4-phenoxyphenyl)butanoic acid (285 mg, 0.818 mmol) in methylene chloride (8.18 mL) at ambient temperature was added 1,(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (220 mg, 1.1 mmol), 1-hydroxy benzotriazole monohydrate (230 mg, 1.5 mmol), triethylamine (0.2 mL, 1.4 mmol) and O-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl-hydroxylamine (140 mg, 1.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The mixture was diluted with methylene chloride and water. The phases were separated and the aqueous layer extracted with methylene chloride two times. The organic extracts were combined and dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to a crude residue. The crude residue was purified via silica gel chromatography eluting with methylene chloride and methanol. The fractions containing the desired product were combined and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)butanamide as a solid. 247.2 mg
