Participants

Reaction Steps

Toluene-4-sulfonic acid (S)-5-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-indan-2-ylmethyl ester (2.93 g, 7.02 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (60 mL) and heated and stirred at 70° C. with lithium iodide (4.7 g, 35.1 mmol) for 18 hours. Volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was stirred with 100 mL of CH2Cl2 and solids removed by filtration. The filtrate was again evaporated, the residue was purified by flash column chromatography (10% of ethyl ether in hexanes) to yield a white solid as (S)-2-iodomethyl-indan-5-yl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (2.05 g, 78.5%).
