Reaction Steps

(2R)-2-(4-Chlorobenzenesulfonylamino)-4-methylpentanoic acid amide (3.00 g, 9.87 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (50 mL). To the solution was added potassium carbonate (6.0 g, 39 mmol) and bromoacetic acid tert-butyl ester (6.0 mL, 39 mmol). The solution was heated to 70° C. for 3 h. The reaction was quenched with EtOAc and saturated NaHCO3. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The crude oil was further purified on a Biotage 40M (loaded in CH2Cl2, eluted in 30% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford a white powder (1.2 g, 35%).
