N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylazodicarboxamide → Tert-butyl 2-({6-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]pyridin-3-yl}methyl)-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)thio]-5-[3-(tetrahydrofuran-3-yloxy)phenyl]pentanoate

Reaction Steps

1,1′-azobis(N,N-dimethylformamide)(134 mg, 0.78 mmol) was added to a solution of tri-n-butylphosphine (221 μL, 0.89 mmol) in toluene (2 mL). Tetrahydrofuran-3-ol (36 μL, 44 mmol) and tert-butyl 2-({6-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]pyridin-3-yl}methyl)-5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)thio]pentanoate (154 mg, 0.25 mmol) was added sequentially. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at 80° C. Toluene (100 mL) was added and the mixture was washed with brine, dried and concentrated. Flash chromatography (toluene/EtOAc, 100:0 to 70:30) gave tert-butyl 2-({6-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]pyridin-3-yl}methyl)-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)thio]-5-[3-(tetrahydrofuran-3-yloxy)phenyl]pentanoate (75 mg, 35%).
