Sodium Azide → HCID 117735755, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium azide (2.44 g, 37.6 mmol) was added to a solution of the crude (S)-5-bromo-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-methyldisulfanyl-pentanoic acid tert-butyl ester (Compound 32) obtained in the foregoing in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml), and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. After completion of the reaction, the insoluble matter was separated by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by normal-phase silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to afford (S)-5-azido-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-methyldisulfanyl-pentanoic acid tert-butyl ester (Compound 33) (1.87 g, 64%).
