The ring cleavage of N-aryl- and N-(arylsulfonyl)histamines with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate in aqueous acetonitrile containing KOAc provides a one-pot synthesis of 4-acylamino- or 4-arylsulfonylamino-1,2-bis(tert -butoxycarbonylamino)butanes. Removal of the Boc groups in these protected triamines with trifluoroacetic acid or dry HCl in MeOH, followed by alkylation with benzyl bromoacetate, and then hydrogenation leads to N 4-acyl-1,2,4-butanetriamine -N 1,N 1,N 2,N 2 -tetraacetic acids and the N 4-arylsulfonyl analogs, respectively.
