Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of fumagillol (314 mg) in dichloromethane (5 ml) was added dropwise chloroacetyl isocyanate (160 mg) under ice cooling, followed by addition of dimethylaminopyridine (130 mg). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. To this reaction mixture was added water and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography. The eluate obtained with a mixture of n-hexane and ethyl acetate (3:1) was concentrated under reduced pressure to give colorless, powdery O-chloroacetylcarbamoylfumagillol (318 mg) (71% yield).
