Alkylation of the hydrobromide salts of 1,4,7-tris(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane and 1,4,7-tris(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane with appropriate α-bromoacetamides, followed by hydrolysis, provides convenient access to 10-(2-alkylamino-2-oxoethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid derivatives that contain acid-sensitive functional groups. The utility of the method is demonstrated by improved syntheses of two known DOTA monoamides bearing acid-sensitive ω-tritylthio alkyl chains in much higher yields based on cyclen as the starting material.
1,4,7-三(甲氧羰基甲基)-1,4,7,10-四氮杂环十二烷和1,4,7-三(乙氧羰基甲基)-1,4,7,10-四氮杂环十二烷的氢溴酸盐与适当的α-溴代乙酰胺进行烷基化反应,随后水解,可方便地得到含有酸敏感官能团的10-(2-烷基氨基-2-氧代乙基)-1,4,7,10-四氮杂环十二烷-1,4,7-三乙酸衍生物。以环糊精为起始原料,通过改进合成两种带有酸敏感ω-三苯甲基硫烷基链的已知DOTA单酰胺,以更高的产率证明了该方法的实用性。
