Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of t-butyl 2(R)-[[4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl]amino]-4-methylpentanoate (10.0 g, 27.92 mmol)in dimethylformamide (250 mL) at room temperature is added 3-picolyl chloride hydrochloride (4.81 g, 29.32 mmol) followed by sodium hydride (2.79 g, 69.80 mmol, 60% in oil). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. The mixture is quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts are washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and the solvent is evaporated. The crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography (45% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to provide t-butyl 2(R)-[[4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl](3-picolyl)amino]-4-methylpentanoate.
