Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → Ethyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-3-oxopropanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Ethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxopropanoic acid (100 mg, 0.624 mmole) was added to a stirring suspension of 2.5 equivalents of PS-DCC from Argonaut and 3 equivalents of dimethylaminopyridine in DCM. To this was added methanesulfonamide (41.6 mg, 0.437 mmole). The solution was filtered of and concentrated to give 69.3 mg of ethyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-3-oxopropanoate (67% yield crude). MS ES− 236 (M−H). 1H NMR (300 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ ppm 1.4 (t, J=6.7 Hz, 3H), 1.6 (s, 6H), 3.3 (m, 3H), 4.3 (m, 2H).
