Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-[(1R)-1-(N-{2-[2-(3-hydroxypropoxy)phenyl]ethyl}-N-methylcarbamoyl)-2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]-N-methylcarbamic acid tert-butyl ester (383 mg, 0.74 mmol) in dichloromethane (4 ml) was cooled to 0° C. Trifluoroacetic acid (4 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 105 min at 0° C. Dichioromethane (40 ml) was added. A saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate (40 ml) was added dropwise. Solid sodium hydrogen carbonate was added, until pH 7 was obtained. The phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (3×60 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 (30 g), using dichloromethane/methanol/25% aqueous ammonia (100:10:1) as eluent, to give 216 mg of (2R)-N-(2-(2-(3-hydroxypropoxy)phenyl)ethyl)-N-methyl-2-(methylamino)-3-(2-naphthyl)propionamide.
