Methyl chloroformate → HCID 6918099, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The product of stage (a) (1.0 g, 3.03 mmol) was suspended in dichloromethane and shaken with dilute sodium hydroxide solution. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to give a brown oil which was dissolved in dichloromethane and treated, with stirring, with triethylamine (0.42 ml, 3.03 mmol), methyl chloroformate (0.23 ml, 3.03 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (18 mg, 0.3 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 17 h then heated under reflux for 2 h and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting solid was partioned between chloroform and water, the organic phase was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to give a solid which was chromatographed on SiO2 eluting with 2% methanol-chloroform. The product was recrystallised from DMF-H2O to give the title compound (0.27 g), mp. 210°-212°, NMR identical to the product of Example 1.
