1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → HCID 69544177, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Subsequently, to a solution of (N-t-butoxycarbonyl-N-isopropyl-amino)-acetic acid (2.05 g, 9.44 mmol) and p-nitrobenzyl alcohol (2.89 g, 18.9 mmol) in methylene chloride (100 ml) were added WSC (3.62 g, 18.9 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (120 mg, 0.98 mmol) in an ice bath under an atmosphere of nitrogen, and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After checking the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using hexane:ethyl acetate (5:2) as the eluant to afford (N-t-butoxycarbonyl-N-isopropyl-amino)acetic acid p-nitrobenzyl ester (1.93 g, yield 58%) as a pale yellow transparent syrup.
