Participants

Reaction Steps

Following general procedure B2, 2-[(2E)-3-(methoxycarbonyl)prop-2-enoyloxy]acetic acid (23) (0.50 g, 2.65 mmol) was activated with oxalyl chloride (0.30 mL, 0.40 g, 3.18 mmol) in dichloromethane (DCM) at ca. 0° C. and in the presence of a catalytic amount of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). A DCM solution of the freshly prepared crude acid chloride was reacted ca. 0° C. (ice bath) with sarcosine isopropyl ester (H-Sar-OiPr) (0.41 g, 3.18 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) (0.41 mL, 0.304 g, 2.35 mmol) in DCM and in the presence of 4-(N,N-dimethyl)aminopyridine (DMAP) (0.10 g, 0.82 mmol). After aqueous work-up and isolation, and purification by silica gel flash chromatography afforded 0.214 g (27% yield) of the title compound (35) as a pale-yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz, all rotamers): δ 6.94-6.90 (m, 2H), 5.09-4.99 (m, 1H), 4.89-4.79 (2s, 2H), 4.07-3.95 (2s, 2H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 3.04-2.98 (2s, 3H), 1.27-1.21 (m, 6H). MS (ESI): m/z 302.04 (M+H)+.
