Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-4-carboxybenzylamine (20 g, 0.086 mol) in dioxane (250 mL), was added an aqueous solution of Na2CO3 (10%, 350 mL) with stirring. The reaction mixture was cooled to 10° C., added Fmoc-OSu (32 g, 0.096 mol) in portions and allowed to stir at RT for 8 h. The solid precipitate was filtered off and washed with diethyl ether (2×200 mL). The solid was acidified with 3N HCl and filtered under suction. The crude solid was recrystalised from methanol/diethyl ether to give N-(Fmoc)-2-bromo-4-carboxybenzylamine (26 g, 67%) as a solid.
