Pyridine → (R)-tert-butyl 2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-3-((S)-2,3-bis(methylsulfonyloxy)propylthio)-propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (R)-tert-butyl 2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-3-((S)-2,3-dihydroxypropylthio)propanoate (1 eq) was stirred in dry DCM (0.1M) in an ice bath (0° C.) under an atmosphere of N2. Pyridine (8.0 eq) was then carefully added at 0° C. Methanesulfonyl chloride (4.0 eq) and DMAP (0.1 eq) were added with the reaction slowly warming to room temperature, then stirred overnight. The crude reaction mixture was then loaded directly onto a silica column and purified by flash chromatography on a COMBIFLASH® system (ISCO) using a gradient of 100% Hex, 0-20% EtOAc/Hex, 20-50% EtOAc/Hex, 100% EtOAc to afford the title compound as an oil.
