Methyl chloroformate → HCID 9904929, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 70 ml of DMF was suspended 1.69 g (6.6 mmol) of Compound 1, and 0.33 g (8.3 mmol) of 60% sodium hydride was added and dissolved therein. To the mixture was added 0.80 ml (10 mmol) of methyl chlorocarbonate, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was dried under reduced pressure, and the residue was partitioned between chloroform and water. The chloroform layer was dried under reduced pressure, passed through a silica gel column, and eluted with chloroform. The main fraction collected was dried under reduced pressure and recrystallized from water-containing ethanol to obtain 1.03 g (50%) of the titled compound as a colorless crystal.
