Diisopropylethylamine → HCID 86588362, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-aminomethyl-2-hydroxybenzoate hydrochloride (0.52 g, 1.28 mmoles) was suspended in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (25 mL), and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.79 mL, 4.53 mmoles) was added, followed by N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-6-aminohexanoic acid succinimidyl ester (0.74 g, 2.26 mmoles). The mixture was stirred under dry nitrogen for 18 hours, during which time all solids dissolved. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and extracted with 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid (100 mL). The layers were separated, and the ethyl acetate solution was washed with water (100 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride (500 mL). The ethyl acetate solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to afford an amorphous off-white solid. Finally, the solid was crystallized from ethyl acetate, filtered, and dried in vacuo to afford 0.67 g (73% yield) of ethyl (N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-6-aminohexanoyl)aminomethyl-2-hydroxybenzoate (m.p. 120-121° C., open capillary, uncorrected).
