Participants

Reaction Steps

To 6.16 g (18.6 mmol) of 3-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonylamino)-propionic acid tert-butyl ester in 50 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide, cooled in an ice bath, was added 0.781 g (19.5 mmol) of sodium hydride. After gas evolution ceased, a solution of 4.02 g (18.6 mmol) of 2-nitrobenzylbromide in 18 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred under nitrogen at room temperature for 4 hours and 1.0 g of 2-nitrobenzyl bromide was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and the solvent removed under vacuum. The residue was diluted with water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic extract was washed with H2O, brine and dried with Na2SO4. The solvent was removed to give 11.2 g of solid which was chromatographed on silica gel with hexane-ethyl acetate (1:1) as eluent followed by hexane-ethyl acetate (35:65) as eluent. The fractions containing product were combined and the solvent was then removed to gave 7.7 g (89%) of solid. A sample from a 3 mmol run gave a gum. Anal. for C21H26N2O8S: Calc'd: C, 54.1; H, 5.6; N, 6.0; Found: C, 54.0; H, 5.7; N, 6.0.
