Hydrogen Sulfide → HCID 178523373, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.4 g (40 mmol) of triethylamine and a solution of 2.8 ml (2 mmol) of isobutyl chloroformate in 20 ml of dry methylene chloride are added dropwise, in succession, to a solution, cooled to -10°, of 5.36 g (20 mmol) of 3-p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylaminopropionic acid in 100 ml of dry methylene chloride. The reaction mixture is stirred for one hour at -18°, then for 11/2 hours a strong current of hydrogen sulphide is passed through and the mixture allowed to heat up to room temperature. After acidifying with 2 N sulphuric acid, again in the cold, the organic phase is separated, dried and concentrated in vacuo. The 3-p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylaminothiopropionic acid obtained can be used without further purification.
