In this study, a novel method to synthesis of 1,3,5,7-tetraacetyl octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetraazocine or 1,3,5,7-tetraacetyl-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclooctane (TAT) was used through acetolysis of 3,7-diacetyl-1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclo-[3.3.1]nonane (DAPT) with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate as catalyst. Optimized reaction conditions were obtained by changing temperature, time and startin...
