4-Nitrophenyl chloroformate → HCID 22725139, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a well stirred solution of (+)-5-methoxycarbonyl-1,6-dihydro-2-methoxy-4-methoxymethyl-6-(3,4-difluorophenyl)pyrimidine (1.11 g, 3.4 mmol) and 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (0.54 g, 4.42 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (200 mL) was added a powder of 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (0.891 g, 4.42 mmol) at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using CHCl3/EtOAc (20%-50%) as the eluent to give (+)-5-methoxycarbonyl-4-methoxymethyl-1,6-dihydro-2-methoxy-6-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-1-[(4-nitrophenyloxy)carbonyl] pyrimidine (1.30 g, 78%) as a viscous oil. [α]D=+262.2 (c=2.3 g in 100 mL CHCl3).
