Sodium hydride → tert-Butyl (3S,5R)-3-[{[1-(4-methoxybutyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]carbonyl}(2-methylpropyl)amino]-5-oxirane-2-ylpiperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (240 mg) was dissolved in DMSO (5 ml), sodium hydride (60% in oil, 45 mg) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. A solution of tert-butyl (3R,5S)-3-formyl-5-[{[1-(4-methoxybutyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]carbonyl}(2-methylpropyl)amino]piperidine-1-carboxylate (450 mg) in DMSO (10 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was poured into saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the object product (230 mg).
