Water → Thioacetic acid S-((S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-methyl-pentyl)ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1.00 g of toluene-4-sulfonic acid (S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-methyl-pentyl ester in 10 ml DMF were added 308 mg of potassium thioacetate. After 24 h at room temperature, the reaction was poured unto water, the pH was then adjusted to 9 and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic phases were washed with brine until neutral, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo. 0.67 g (90%) of Thioacetic acid S—((S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-methyl-pentyl)ester were obtained.
