Ethyl Acetate → (E)-methyl 4-(2-(2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)ethoxy)ethylamino)-4-oxobut-2-enoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethylcarbamate (1.0 g, 4.90 mmol) was then taken up in 20 mL of CH3CN along with mono methyl fumarate (637 mg, 4.90 mmol) and EDCI (1.7 g. 5.39 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. It was then diluted with EtOAc (20 mL), washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by chromatography (9:1 CH2Cl2/MeOH) to afford 1.0 g of (E)-methyl 4-(2-(2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)ethoxy)ethylamino)-4-oxobut-2-enoate (64% yield). MS (EI) calcd for C14H24N2O6: 316.16. found: 317 (M+1).
