Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-methyl-, compd. with pyridine (1:1) → (2S)-2-{[1-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methylprop-2-enyl]oxy}-N-(cyanomethyl)-4-methylpentanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methylprop-2-enyl 2,2,2-trichloroethanimidoate of step 2 (0.81 mmol, 300 mg) in CH2Cl2 (6 mL) was added (2S)-N-(cyanomethyl)-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanamide from Step 1, Example 67 (0.81 mmol, 137 mg) and then PPTS (0.081 mmol, 20 mg). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 72 h. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with NaHCO3. The organic extract was dried (anhyd. MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to give an oil. Chromatography (10% Acetone/EtOAc) gave 2 diastereomers (20 mg each).
