Reaction Steps

4,5-Dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl carbonochloridate (694 mg, 2.52 mmol) was added to a solution of (R)-2-amino-3-(tert-butyldisulfanyl)propanoic acid (Compound 2f-E, 500 mg, 2.29 mmol) and sodium carbonate (534 mg, 5.04 mmol) in dioxane (5 ml) and water (5 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction solution was then adjusted to pH 2 by adding 1 N hydrochloric acid, and was extracted by adding ethyl acetate. The organic extract was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. 2-Bromoacetonitrile (0.284 ml, 4.08 mmol) and N-ethyl-N-isopropylpropan-2-amine (0.285 ml, 1.63 mmol) were added to a solution of the resulting residue in DMF (6 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. A saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (3 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, after which the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with water. The organic extract was then dried over magnesium sulfate. Following concentration under reduced pressure, the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=100/0→60/40) to afford (R)-cyanomethyl 3-(tert-butyldisulfanyl)-2-((((4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitro benzyl)oxy)carbonyl)amino)propanoate (Compound 21-E) (653 mg, 98%).
