Triethylamine → (S)-4-((tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxy)methyl)-1-(1-adamantylmethyl)imidazolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of triphosgene (124 mg, 0.42 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (2 mL) was added slowly to a solution of (S)-3-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxy)-N1-(1-adamantylmethyl)propane-1,2-diamine (600 mg, 1.26 mmol) and triethylamine (140 mg, 1.4 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (10 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for another 1 h. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with CH2Cl2 (50 mL). The organic layer was washed with 0.1 N aq HCl (2×20 mL) and brine (10 mL), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give a residue, which was purified by preparative TLC to provide (S)-4-((tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxy)methyl)-1-(1-adamantylmethyl)imidazolidin-2-one (330 mg, 52%). 1H NMR: (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ=1.05 (s, 9H), 1.54 (s, 6H), 1.62-1.73 (m, 8H), 1.98 (s, 3H), 2.77 (m, 2H), 3.21 (m, 1H), 3.55 (t, 1H), 3.65 (m, 2H), 3.82 (m, 1H), 4.57 (s, 1H), 7.4 (m, 6H), 7.62 (m, 4H).
