pentane-1,5-diamine;dihydrochloride

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of 2-(Boc-oxyimino)-2-phenylacetonitrile (226 mg, 0.92 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (30 mL) was added via syringe pump (rate=8 mL/hr) to a stirred solution of 1,5 diaminopentane dihydrochloride (1 g, 5.52 mmol) and TEA (1 ml, 7.12 mmol) in 1:1 1,4-dioxane:water (40 mL) under inert atmosphere at room temperature. The reaction was stirred for 12 h and DCM (20 mL) was added to the reaction mixture. The organic phase was extracted and concentrated in vacuo. The yellow residue was dissolved in diethyl ether (15 mL) and 5% HCl solution added. The acidic solution was washed with diethyl ether and then the pH of the aqueous layer adjusted to pH 14 with 2.5M NaOH solution. Ethyl acetate (20 mL) was added and the organic layer was washed with brine (2×50 mL), and dried (MgSO4). The solvents were evaporated in vacua to yield N-Boc-cadaverine as a yellow oil (100 mg, 55%). HPLC/MS (Hydrophilic/TFA) Rt=6.17 min; ESI MS (+ve) m/z=203 [M+1H); calc. m/z for C10H22N2O2: 202.3 g/mol, at room temperature The organic phase was extracted concentrated in vacuo The yellow residue was dissolved in diethyl ether (15 mL) 5% HCl solution added The acidic solution was washed with diethyl ether Ethyl acetate (20 mL) was added the organic layer was washed with brine (2×50 mL) dried (MgSO4) The solvents were evaporated in vacua

Procedure: To a suspension of 1,5-diaminopentane dihydrochloride (2.9 g, 16.7 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide (10.0 g, 50 mmol) at 0° C. A solution of benzyl chloroformate (1.7 g, 10 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added rapidly dropwise and the resulting mixture stirred at RT. After 1 h, the organic layer was separated and concentrated to give a residue which was dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 mL). This solution was extracted with water (3×50 mL.), dried (sodium sulfate) and concentrated. The residue was redissolved in ether (50 mL) and 1.0 ethereal hydrogen chloride (3.0 mL) was added. The resulting precipitate was filtered, suspended in CH2Cl2 (75 mL) and shaken with 5% sodium hydroxide (15 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (75 mL), dried (sodium sulfate) and concentrated to give the title compound 0.25 g, 30%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.15-7.4 (m, 5H), 5.15-5.4 (m, 1H), 5.05 (s, 2H), 3.05-3.2 (m, 2H), 2.55-2.7 (m, 2H), 1.2-1.5 (m, 6H). the organic layer was separated concentrated to give a residue which This solution was extracted with water (3×50 mL.) dried (sodium sulfate) concentrated The residue was redissolved in ether (50 mL) 1.0 ethereal hydrogen chloride (3.0 mL) was added The resulting precipitate was filtered shaken with 5% sodium hydroxide (15 mL) The organic layer was washed with water (75 mL) dried (sodium sulfate) concentrated
