Trichloroethanol → 3-[4-(Tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxymethyl)-phenyl]-2-[2-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-ethylsulfanyl]-propionic acid 2,2,2-trichloro-ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[4-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxymethyl)-phenyl]-2-[2-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-ethylsulfanyl]-propionic acid (4.79 g, 10.68 mmol) and 2,2,2-trichloroethanol (1.67 g, 11.22 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (300 mL) was first added EDCxHCl (2.66 g, 13.89 mmol) then DMAP (13 mg, 0.1 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere at 0° C. After complete addition the cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature until no starting material was left. The mixture was diluted with water and aq. HCl (2N) and extracted with DCM. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the crude product which was directly proceeded to the next step (5.47 g, 88.3%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.16 (t, 2H), 7.10 (d, 2H), 7.01 (t, 2H), 6.87 (t, 2H), 4.61 (q, 4H), 3.48 (dd, 1H), 3.12 (dd, 1H), 2.73-2.89 (m, 5H), 0.85 (s, 9H), 0.00 (s, 6H). Mass Spectrum: M−H+ 579.03.
