Isobutylamine → Ethyl 4-(4-((2-methylpropyl)carbamoyl)piperidin-1-yl)azepane-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(1-(ethoxycarbonyl)azepan-4-yl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (0.26 g assumed 0.89 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (4 mL) and isobutylamine (0.81 g, 1.1 mL, 11.0 mmol), HATU (0.51 g, 1.34 mmol) and DIPEA (0.46 g, 0.62 mL, 3.56 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt overnight and the solvents were removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between DCM and sat. NaHCO3 sol., the organic layer was washed with sat. NaCl sol. and dried (MgSO4). The solvents were removed in vacuo, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (normal phase, [Biotage SNAP cartridge KP-sil 25 g, 40-63 μm, 60 Å, 25 mL per min, gradient 0% to 3% MeOH in DCM]) to give ethyl 4-(4-((2-methylpropyl)carbamoyl)piperidin-1-yl)azepane-1-carboxylate (17 mg, 2%) as a pale yellow gum.
