Methyl chloroformate → (S)-methyl 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-yl(3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxopropyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-3-(3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ylamino)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)propan-1-one (2.00 g, 7.97 mmol) and K2CO3 (3.30 g, 23.9 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) was added methyl chloroformate (2.25 g, 23.9 mmol) dropwise at 0° C., and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give the crude product, which was purified by chromatography to afford (S)-methyl 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-yl(3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxopropyl)carbamate (2.0 g, 81%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 0.92 (s, 9H), 1.12-1.21 (d, 3H), 3.02-3.11 (m, 1H), 3.27-3.49 (m, 1H), 3.66 (s, 3H), 3.98-4.23 (m, 1H), 7.06-7.17 (m, 2H), 7.92-8.08 (m, 2H).
