Reaction Steps

In 10 ml of methylene chloride was dissolved 0.56 g of 3-[2-[2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl]-8-(3-methylbutylidene)-3-oxo-1-thia-4-azaspiro[4.5]decan-4-yl]-propionic acid. At ambient temperature, 0.21 g of benzyl alcohol, 0.23 g of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole monohydrate and 0.31 g of dicyclohexyl carbodiimide were successively added. After stirring the resulting mixture for 24 hours at the same temperature as above, the insoluble matter was filtered off. The filtrate was washed successively with 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid, water, saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by column chromatography [eluent: hexane:ethyl acetate=6:1] gave 0.17 g of benzyl 3-[2-[2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl]-8-(3-methylbutylidene)-3-oxo-1-thia-4-azaspiro[4.5]decan-4-yl]-propionate as a light yellow oily product.
