(3-Carboxypropyl)trimethylammonium chloride Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

3-Carboxy-N, N, N-trimethylpropane-l -ammonium chloride (69 mg, 0.38 mmol) was suspended in anhydrous CH2CI2 (1 ml) under argon. To the reaction mixture cooled in an ice bath was added dropwise oxalic acid chloride (0.5 ml, 5.82 mmol) followed by a catalytic amount of anhydrous Nu, Nu'-dimethylformamide (3 ml, 0.03 mmol). The heterogeneous mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 h. During this time a clear solution formed. The liquid portions of the mixture were evaporated under reduced pressure and the solid residue was dissolved in nitromethane (2 ml) and anhydrous pyridine (0.10 ml, 1.24 mmol) under argon. To this solution was added compound 48 (98 mg, 0.35 mmol). The reaction was stirred 4 h and then, it was quenched with water (10 ml). The resulting mixture was acidified to pH-4 with aqueous HCl (5percent). The product was extracted with chloroform (3 x 20 ml), the solution washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (10 ml), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The unreacted starting steroid 48 was removed by trituration with benzene and the residual product was recrystallized from chloroform/n-heptane (1 1) affording crystals of 62 (122 mg, 79percent): mp 225- 227 °C (-heptane/CHCl3), [a]D20 +24.9 (c 0.23, CHCI3).
