Lawesson's reagent → 1,1-Dimethylethyl N-[(1S)-1-(aminothioxomethyl)-2-methylpropyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Boc-valineamide (0.5 g) was stirred in dry THF at room temperature under argon. Lawesson's reagent (1.56 g, 0.6 eq) was added and the mixture was stirred overnight. The solvent was evaporated and the residue chromatographed (silica, 2.5% methanol/dichloromethane) to give the title compound as a white solid (0.373 g, 70%). NMR(CDCl3) δ 8.59 (1H, br s), 8.09 (1H, br s), 5.41 (1H, d (br)), 4.20 (1H, dd), 1.99 (1H, m), 1.39 (9H, s), 0.90 (6H, m).
