Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of bis(benzyloxycarbonyl)hydrazine (2.65 g, 8.83 mol) in acetonitrile (30 L) was charged into 100 L-reactor. Cesium carbonate (6.00 kg, 18.4 mol) and tert-butyl 2,4-dibromobutyrate (2.65 kg, 8.83 mol) were added into the above solution. The mixture solution was heated at 50° C. for 2.5 h until the two starting materials were completely consumed. The mixture solution was cooled to room temperature. A filtration was performed to remove some undissolved materials. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to afford product (4000 g crude product) as a brown oil.
