Ethylmorpholine → HCID 70519969, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.8 g (0.02 m) of L-proline benzyl ester hydrochloride, 3.88 g (0.02 m) of α-(1-adamantyl)acetic acid, 5.4 g (0.04 m) of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, 2.56 ml of N-ethylmorpholine, 60 ml of dimethylformamide and 4.16 g (0.02 m) of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was stirred overnight at 25°. The mixture was filtered and the tetrahydrofuran removed in vacuo from the filtrate to leave a residue which was taken up in 200 ml of ethyl acetate. The resulting extract was acidified with dilute hydrochloride acid. The layers were separated. The organic layer was extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were combined and washed with dilute acid, water, bicarbonate solution and brine then dried and evaporated to give an amber syrup of N-(1-adamantyl)-ethanoylproline benzyl ester, m/e=381. A second run on a 0.04 m scale gave 16.2 g of ester.
