4-tert-Butylbenzoic acid → HCID 86689675, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Prepared using General Procedure 7. Into a solution of 4-(tert-butyl)benzoic acid (8.3 g, 46.4 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) were added HATU (19.2 g, 50.6 mmol), TEA (17.6 mL, 126.4 mmol) and (S)-tert-butyl 2-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate (10.0 g, 42.1 mmol). After 5 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with EA, washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine, then dried (Na2SO4), concentrated, and purified by chromatography (EA/hexanes) to provide 12.9 g (69%) of tert-butyl (4-(tert-butyl)benzoyl)-L-tyrosinate. LCMS-ESI (m/z) calculated for C24H31NO4: 397.5; no m/z observed, tR=3.59 min (Method 1). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.71-7.65 (m, 2H), 7.47-7.39 (m, 2H), 7.04 (t, J=5.7 Hz, 2H), 6.78-6.70 (m, 2H), 6.59 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 4.91 (dt, J=7.5, 5.6 Hz, 1H), 3.15 (qd, J=14.0, 5.6 Hz, 2H), 1.45 (s, 9H), 1.33 (s, 9H).
