Abstract
1-Amino-3,6,9,12-tetraoxapentadecan-15-oic acid 8 was synthesised from tetraethylene glycol through a 7 step sequence including esterification, mesylation, azide substitution with subsequent reduction followed by hydrolysis. The structure of product 8 was identified by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). All reaction conditions were optimised and easy to control. The key advantages of this process are the high yields of products and a new route to synthesise 1-amino-3,6,9,12-tetraoxapentadecan-15-oic acid.
