Pyridine → Ammonia dichloromethane

Participants

Reaction Steps

TBDMS protected histidinol 14--To a stirred solution of 205 mg (5.1 mmol) of NaH washed 3× with hexane, under argon, in 3.0 mL DMF was added in portions 500 mg (2.3 mmol) of N-methylhistidinol dihydrochloride, resulting in moderate gas evolution. The solution was stirred for 1.5 h, then 1.8 mL (23 mmol) of anhydrous pyridine and 693.0 mg (4.6 mmol) of TBDMSC1 was added. The solution was stirred for 1.5 h, concentrated in vacuo and flash chromatographed on silica with 15% CH3OH.NH3 /CH2Cl2 to yield 14.
