Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

At 0° C., trfluoroacetic acid (4 ml) was added to a solution of N-((1 R)-1-(N-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl)ethyl)-N-methylcarbamoyl)-2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl)-N-methylcarbamic acid tert-butyl ester (986 mg, 1.95 mmol) in dichloromethane (4 ml). The solution was stirred for 3 h at 0° C. Dichloromethane (50 ml) was added. A saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate (30 ml) was added. Solid sodium hydrogen carbonate was added until pH 7 was obtained. Water was added until a clear solution was obtained. The phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (2×20 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica (80 g), using dichloromethne/methanol/25% aqueous ammonia (100:10:1) as eluent, to give 730 mg of (2R)-N-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl)ethyl)-N-methyl-2-(methylamino)-3-(2-naphthyl)propionamide.
