Reaktionsschritte

A solution of HCl (4M in 1,4-dioxane, 20 mL) was added to a solution of ethyl 2-butyramido-3-mercaptopropanoate (example 56, step a) (3 g) in ethanol (20 mL) and the resulting mixture stirred overnight. The solvent was evaporated and the residue azeotroped twice with toluene. The residue was redissolved in acetonitrile (50 mL), manganese dioxide (11.9 g) was added and the mixture heated at reflux overnight. The reaction was filtered through a pad of Celite. The filter pad was washed with MeCN (3×100 mL). The combined filtrate and washings were evaporated and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 9:1 isohexane:ethyl acetate. The product containing fractions were combined and evaporated to give the subtitled compound as a clear oil. Yield 0.24 g.
