Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-mannitol (3.00 g, 20.5 mmol) and triethylamine (3.15 ml, 22.6 mmol) in DCM (100 ml), 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (4.55 g, 22.6 g) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hrs. Then the mixture was washed with a 5% solution of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (2×50 ml). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated and purified by flash chromatography (Biotage SP1, EtOAc/n-hexane from 20 to 80%), affording the title compound.
