4-Methoxy-alpha-toluenethiol → HCID 69076973, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-methoxy-α-toluenethiol (0.58 mL, 4.17 mmol) in dry, degassed DMF (2 mL) was treated at room temperature with a catalytic amount of sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil), followed by a solution of tert-butyl 5-(1,1′-biphenyl-3-yl)-2-({6-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]pyridin-3-yl}methyl)pent-2-enoate (1.073 g, 2.08 mmol) in dry, degassed DMF (5 mL). After 20 h at room temperature the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with water three times. The organic layer was dried Na2SO4), concentrated, and subjected to flash chromatography (heptan/EtOAc, 3:1 and toluene/EtOAc 12:1) to give tert-butyl 5-(1,1′-biphenyl-3-yl)-2-({6-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]pyridin-3-yl}methyl)-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)thio]pentanoate (1.251 g, 90%)
