Hydrochloric Acid → (4R)-3-(S-Benzoyl-3-mercaptopropanoyl)-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

11.3 g of (4R)-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid and 13.2 g of triethylamine are dissolved in 200 ml of dehydrated acetone and 11.7 g of S-benzoyl-3-mercaptopropanoyl chloride is added dropwise while stirring under ice-cooling. After the addition, the mixture is stirred under ice-cooling for 1 hour. 4 N Hydrochloric acid in ether is added to this mixture and the precipitate is filtered. The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo and the obtained oil is dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with 2 N hydrochloric acid and saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to dryness in vacuo to give the titled compound, yield 12 g (58%), mp. 100.5°-101° C. (dec.) (ethyl acetatebenzene), [α]D26 +130.8° (c=1.0, methanol).
