Citric Acid → HCID 66926364, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-(spiro[5.5]undec-3-yloxy)-naphthalene-2-carbaldehyde (150 mg, 0.46 mmol) and 3-amino-2,2-difluoro-propionic acid (58.2 mg, 0.465 mmol) in ethanol (0.7 mL, 10 mmol) was heated to reflux for 2 h. The yellow solution was then cooled to room temperature and sodium cyanoborohydride (35.1 mg, 0.558 mmol) was added portionwise. The resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 1 h. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature, and citric acid was added. The solution was stirred for several minutes and the solvent removed under vacuum. The resulting solid was suspended in water and filtered, and the collected solid was washed thoroughly with water (4×), ether (5×), and hexane (5×) to give (82.1 mg, 41%) of 2,2-difluoro-3-((6-(spiro[5.5]undecan-3-yloxy)naphthalen-2-yl)methylamino)propanoic acid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.93 (s, 1H), 7.86 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.83 (d, J=9.1 Hz, 1H), 7.52 (dd, J=8.4, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.30 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.22 (dd, J=9.0, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 4.52 (m, 1H), 4.45 (s, 2H), 3.60 (t, J=15.9 Hz, 2H), 1.76-1.35 (m, 18H).
