Ethanol → (3R)-8-(4-isopropylphenoxy)-1-thia-4-azaspiro[4.5]decane-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a solvent mixture consisting of 21 ml of ethanol and 9 ml of water were dissolved 3.10 g of 4-(4-isopropylphenoxy)-1-cyclohexanone, 2.35 g of L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate and 1.10 g of sodium acetate. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and water and ethyl ether were added to the concentrate. The deposited crystal was collected by filtration, and there was obtained 2.45 g of (3R)-8-(4-isopropylphenoxy)-1-thia-4-azaspiro[4.5]decan-3-carboxylic acid as a colorless crystalline product.
