Bromoacetonitrile → (R)-tert-butyl 4-(((S)-5-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-6-(cyanomethoxy)-6-oxohexyl)carbamoyl)thiazolidine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Bromoacetonitrile (57 μl, 0.845 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (147 μl, 0.845 mmol) were added to a solution of (S)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-6-((R)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)thiazolidine-4-carboxamido)hexanoic acid (Compound tk82) (130 mg, 0.282 mmol) in acetonitrile (5 ml), and the reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure using an evaporator, and the residue was purified by normal-phase silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to afford (R)-tert-butyl 4-(((S)-5-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-6-(cyanomethoxy)-6-oxohexyl)carbamoyl)thiazolidine-3-carboxylate (Compound tk83) (140 mg, 99%).
