Tributylstannane → BENZYL 4-OXO-2-[[(PHENYLMETHOXY)CARBONYL]AMINO]BUTANOATE

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Z-Asp-OBn (10 g, 0.028 mol) in MC (200 ml), oxalyl chloride (2.93 ml, 0.0336 mol) and a catalytic amount of DMF were added at 0° C. and stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. After the solvent was evaporated, the crude acyl chloride was dissolved in benzene (400 ml), and tributyltin hydride (15.1 ml, 0.056 mol) and a catalytic amount of Pd(0) were added slowly at 0° C. and stirred at room temperature overnight. After the solvent was evaporated, ether (100 ml)/10% KF in water (100 ml) was added and stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs, followed by filtration to give a biphasic solution. The organic layer was separated and concentrated to give a crude product, which was purified by column chromatography to obtain the title compound, Z-Asp-OBn aldehyde (6 g) as pale-yellow oil.
