Benzyl 1-(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenethylbutylcarbamoyl)-3-methylbutylcarbamate → Benzyl 1-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-oxo-1-phenethylbutylcarbamoyl)-3-methylbutylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution comprised of benzyl 1-(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenethylbutylcarbamoyl)-3-methylbutylcarbamate (0.250 g, 0.532 mmol) and Dess-Martin Periodate (0.451 g, 1.06 mmol) in dry methylene chloride (27 mL) was stirred vigorously and then a mixture of wet methylene chloride (20 mL, 95 mL of dry methylene chloride and 95 μL of water) was added by a separatory funnel. The mixture was stirred 18 hours at room temperature and concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and the solution was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to dryness in vacuo. Product was purified from the residue by prep HPLC using 100% water to 20% water/acetonitrile over a 60 minute period. The desired fractions were collected and lyophilized to dryness to provide benzyl 1-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-oxo-1-phenethylbutylcarbamoyl)-3-methylbutylcarbamate (0.05 g, 0.11 mmol) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 0.89-0.91 (m, 6H), δ 1.23-1.32 (2×s, 6H), δ 1.42-4.65 (m, 2H), δ 1.86-1.89 (m, 1H), δ 2.05-2.15 (m, 1H), δ 2.58-2.63 (m, 2H), δ 4.12 (m, 1H), δ 5.09-5.21 (m, 4H), δ 6.52 (d, 1H), δ 7.12-7.31 (m, 10H).
