Riboflavin → (S)-N-(2'-amino-7'-methoxy-5H-spiro[oxazole-4,9'-xanthene]-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (S)—N-(2′-azido-7′-methoxy-5H-spiro[oxazole-4,9′-xanthene]-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (0.410 g, 0.978 mmol) in ethanol (12 mL) and THF (8 mL) was stirred with palladium hydroxide, 20 wt % pd (dry basis) on carbon, wet, degussa type e101 ne/w (0.136 g, 0.978 mmol) under hydrogen at atmospheric pressure and RT for 2 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration over a celite-pad, washed with ethanol (15 mL). The combined filtrates were concentrated to yield the crude product (104584-37-2). The product (S)—N-(2′-amino-7′-methoxy-5H-spiro[oxazole-4,9′-xanthene]-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide was obtained as an off-white solid. MS (ESI pos. ion) m/z: 394 (M+1).
