Sodium hydride → 5-Benzoylthio-2-methyl-2-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)aminopentane

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of thiobenzoic acid (890 mg) and sodium hydride (50%) (220 mg) in dimethylformamide (8 ml) was stirred for 10 minutes with ice-cooling. 5-p-Toluenesulfonyloxy-2-methyl-2-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)aminopentane (1.64 g) in dimethylformamide (8 ml) was added thereto, followed by stirring for 25 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and then water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to give an oily residue which was then purified by silica gel chromatography to give 5-benzoylthio-2-methyl-2-(p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)aminopentane.
