2-Butene, 1-bromo-3-methyl- → HCID 53702490, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4-methoxybenzen sulfonylamino) acetic acid t-butyl ester (3.0 grams, 10 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran-dimethylformamide (mL, ca. 3:1) at 0° C. is added sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (10.0 mL 1.0 M solution in tetrahydrofuran). After 10 minutes, 4-bromo-2-methyl-2-butene (1.27 μL, 11.0 mmol) is added. The mixture is warmed to room temperature, stirred for 1 hour and quenched with saturated ammonium chloride solution. The mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined extracts are dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and concentrated. The crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography (elution with 1:1 ethyl acetate-hexanes) to provide [(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-amino]-acetic acid t-butyl ester.
