An Efficient Synthesis of 2-Hydroxyethyl N,N,N',N'-Tetrakis(2-chloroethyl)phosphorodiamidate
文摘
A process for the multikilogram preparation of 2-hydroxyethylN,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-chloroethyl)phosphorodiamidate has beenachieved in substantially pure form by a short syntheticsequence starting from phosphorus oxychloride and 2 equiv ofbis(2-chloroethyl)amine. This process involves a two-step preparation of the intermediate mustard chloride in one pot, followedby the base-catalyzed reaction with excess ethylene glycol. Thismethod has been carried out to provide 2.9 kg of this key drugsubstance intermediate in 52% overall yield.
