Sodium hydride → [4-(4-tert-Butoxycarbonylmethoxy-3-methyl-phenyldisulfanyl)-2-methyl-phenoxy]-acetic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice cooled solution of 4.75 g (17.06 mmol) 4,4′-dithio-bis-(2-methyl-phenol) and 5.55 ml (37.6 mmol) bromo-acetic acid tert-butyl ester in 50 ml DMF was added 204 mg (85.3 mmol) sodium hydride (55% in oil). The reaction mixture was stirred over night at RT and then it was taken up in ether, washed with 1N HCl and water. The crude product was purified by chromatography over silica gel with AcOEt/heptane 1:4 providing 3.4 g pure [4-(4-tert-butoxycarbonylmethoxy-3-methyl-phenyldisulfanyl)-2-methyl-phenoxy]-acetic acid tert-butyl ester.
