Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydorbenzoimidazole-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (632 mg, 2.82 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) at room temperature under inert atmosphere was added (4-amino-butyl)carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (745 mg, 4.23 mmol) followed by sodium triacetoxyborohydride (896 mg, 4.23 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 17 hours. Saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (20 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The resultant material was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (20:1:1 CH2Cl2:MeOH:NH4OH) to provide the product (558 mg, 48%): 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 1.42 (s, 9H), 1.59 (s, 9H), 1.50-1.62 (m, 4H), 1.71-1.77 (2H), 1.82-2.00 (m, 2H), 2.06 (s, 1H), 2.73-2.87 (m, 4H), 3.09-3.13 (m, 2H), 3.33 (br s, 1H), 3.75-3.80 (m, 1H), 5.01 (br s, 1H), 7.96 (s, 1H).
