Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(dibenzylamino)-3-(difluoromethoxy)propanoic acid (335.4 mg, 1 mmol) and triethylamine (404.8 mg, 4 mmol) in THF (5 mL) at −5° C., isobutyl chloroformate (143.5 mg, 1.05 mmol) was added dropwise. After 20 minutes, benzylamine hydrochloride (215.4 mg, 1.5 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture allowed to warm up to room temperature. The mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water, 0.5N HCl and Brine. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulphate, concentrated with silica gel and purified by column chromatography, eluting with 10-20% ethyl acetate in hexanes to give 2-(dibenzylamino)-3-(difluoromethoxy)-N-benzylpropanamide (367 mg, 86.5%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ(ppm) 7.56 (t, 1H), 7.17-7.34 (m, 15H), 6.35 (wt, 1H), 4.60 (dd, 1H), 4.43 (m, 3H), 3.95 (d, 2H), 3.68 (d, 2H) and 3.67 (m, 1H).
