Participants

Reaction Steps

2.7 g of (4R)-2-(2-acetoxyphenyl)-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid and 2.8 g of potassium carbonate are dissolved in 60 ml of water. To this solution, 1.8 g of S-acetyl-3-mercaptopropanoyl chloride is added dropwise with stirring under ice-cooling. After the addition, the mixture is stirred under ice-cooling for 1 hour and at room temperature for additional 1 hour. The reaction solution is washed with ethyl acetate, and acidified with conc. hydrochloric acid to give crystals. The crystals (the titled compound) are collected by filtration, yield 2.8 g (70%), mp. 144°-145° C. (ethyl acetate-benzene), [α]D27 +109.0° (c=1.0, methanol).
