Reaction Steps

To the crude di-tert-butyl (((((1,3-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(azanediyl))-bis(propane-3,1-diyl))bis(azanediyl))bis(propane-3,1-diyl))dicarbamate from Step 1 was added methanolic HCl (150 mL, 1.0 M). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h and concentrated under reduced pressure. The solid was collected by vacuum filtration, and it was washed with Et2O (30 mL) and hot MeOH (30 mL) to afford the desired product (1.1 g, 56%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, D2O) δ ppm 7.62 (s, 4H), 4.36 (s, 4H), 3.28-3.21 (m, 12H), 3.15 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 4H), 2.23-2.11 (m, 8H). 13C NMR (125 MHz, D2O) 131.4, 131.3, 131.1, 130.2, 50.8, 44.7, 44.6, 44.1, 36.5, 23.6, 22.6. LRMS [M+H]+365.3.
