Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-Boc-D-phenylalaninol mesylate (0.3 g, 0.9 mmol), dimethylformamide (10 mL), 2-napthalenethiol (0.22 g, 1.39 mmol), diisopropylethylamine (1.39 mmol) and sodium iodide (0.14 g, 0.93 mmol) was kept at 80 ° C. for 18 hr, cooled to room temperature and methylene chloride (25 ml) was added. This mixture was washed with water (2×10 mL), 1M sodium hydroxide (3×10 mL) and brine (2×15 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate adsorbed onto silica gel and applied to a column prepacked with silica gel. The title compound (121 mg) was eluted with hexane:ethyl acetate (90:10, v:v) to afford a white solid.
