Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of lithium borohydride in tetrahydrofuran (2M, 1.14 ml, 2.28 mmol) was added slowly at 0° C. a solution of (R)-3-benzenesulfonyl-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-propionic acid methyl ester (0.52 g, 1.51 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3 ml). After stirring at room temperature for 2.5 hours methanol was added (0.5 ml). The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated ammoniumchloride solution. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, heptane/EtOAc=1:1 to yield a white solid, (0.292 g, 61%); MS (ISP): 316.0 ((M+H)+/); 216.1 ((M+H—BOC)+.).
