Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.00 g (2.915 mmol) of N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)sulfonyl]-D-valine tert-butyl ester (J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40, 2525) in 10 mL of DMF was added 0.128 g (3.207 mmol) of 60% sodium hydride. After 30 minutes at room temperature 0.45 mL (7.289 mmol) of iodomethane was added and the reaction was stirred for 15 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with ether and washed with water. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/hexanes (1:10) to provide 0.993 g (95%) of the N-methyl sulfonamide as a colorless oil. Electrospray Mass Spec: 357.9 (M+H)+.
