(Bis(2-methoxyethyl)amino)sulfur trifluoride → (1R,5R)-7-Fluoro-4-oxo-3-[(1R)-1-phenylethyl]-3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-1-ylcarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

(1S,5S)-7-Hydroxy-4-oxo-3-[(1R)-1-phenylethyl]-3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-1-ylcarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.0 g, 2.89 mmol) was dissolved in methylene chloride (15 mL). Bis(2-methoxyethyl)aminosulfur trifluoride (BAST) (0.59 mL) was added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for one hour. The reaction solution was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered. Then, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1→4:1→1:1) to give 711 mg (71%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
