1,3,5-Trioxane → HCID 15896001, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the solution of N-benzyl-2(R)-[(4-methoxyphenyl)sulfonylamino]-succinamic acid benzyl ester as an oil (2.10 g, 4.4 mmol) in 200 mL of dichloromethane is added, with stirring, 1.3,5-trioxane (1.57 g, 17.4 mmol) followed by two drops of sulfuric acid. The reaction is heated at reflux for 3 hours at which time mass spectrometry (ES) indicates the reaction to be complete. The reaction is allowed to cool to room temperature, diluted with dichloromethane (250 mL), and washed with water (2×). The product is purified by flash silica gel chromatography (1:1 hexanes-ethyl acetate), to give benzyl 1-benzyl-3-[(4-methoxyphenyl)sulfonyl]-6-oxo-hexahydro-pyrimidine-4(R)-carboxylate.
