N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-beta-alanine → HCID 19024519, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 33.5 g of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-β-alanine, 15 g of methyl isocyanoacetate, 31.8 g of diethylphosphorylcyanide, 23 g of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, 42 ml of triethylamine and 300 ml of dimethylformamide was stirred at room temperature overnight. Then, the solvent was removed, and ethyl acetate was added to the mixture. The mixture was washed and dried, and then the solvent was removed. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography and crystallized from isopropyl ether, followed by recrystallization from an ethyl acetate-isopropyl ether mixed solution, to obtain 22.6 g of 4-methoxycarbonyl-5-{2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)ethyl}oxazole.
