Ethyl Acetate → Ot-551

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of tempol (1.72 g, 0.01 mmole), cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (0.946 g, 0.011 mmole), and DMAP (0.12, 0.001 mmole) in dichloromethane (25 ml) was added DCC (2.27 g, 0.11 mmole) and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The mixture was filtered over celite and the solution was evaporated under reduced pressure. The product was isolated by silica gel column chromatography using first hexane and then 10% ethyl acetate in hexane. Yield: 2.26 g (94.1). IR and NMR were consistent with the assigned structure.
