Hydrazine → (S)-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-thiocarbamoyl-propionic acid benzyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 1-L round bottom flask was charged with (S)-benzyl 4-amino-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-oxobutanoate (10.0 g, 31.0 mmol), Lawesson's reagent (6.58 g, 16.3 mmol), and tetrahydrofuran (155 mL). Hydrazine (7.8 mL, 0.248 mol) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 72 h. The resulting mixture was then concentrated in vacuo and the residue purified via flash silica gel chromatography (Analogix IF-280, SF40-400 g column, gradient 90:10-60:40 Heptane:EtOAc) to yield-(S)-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-thiocarbamoyl-propionic acid benzyl ester. MS (ES+) 339 (M+1).
