Procedure

4-Boc-thiomorpholine-3-carboxylic acid can also be substituted for the compound of formula (XXIV) in Reaction Scheme 7 and can be prepared in the following manner: To THF was added cysteine ethyl ester hydrochloride (1.15 g, 6.18 mmol), triethylamine (4.17 mL, 30 mmol) and dibromoethane (2.51 mL, 6.2 mmol). After stirring for 1 hour and refluxing for 16 hours, the solids were removed by filtration. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was chromatographed on silica to give thiomorpholinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.94 g, 87%). The ester (15.3 g, 95 mmol) was dissolved in dioxane/water (1/1) and di-t-butyldicarbonate (24 g, 110 mmol) and LiOH were added. After stirring for 3 hours, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the pH was adjusted to 3 with KHSO3 and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), and the solvent was removed in vacuo to give 17.4 g (78%) 4-Boc-thiomorpholine-3-carboxylic acid: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.45 (m, 9), 2.45 (m, 1), 2.71 (m, 1). 2.93 (m, 1), 3.10 (m. 1), 3.29 (m, 1), 4.11 (m, 1), 4.19 (m, 1), 5.20 (m, 1).
