Triethylamine → (S)-(+)-3-(tert-butyl-diphenyl-silanyloxy)-2-methylpropionic acid chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

(S)-(+)-3-(tert-Butyl-diphenyl-silanyloxy)-2-methylpropionic acid (0.44 g; 1.20 mmol) (from Example 13a supra) was dissolved in dichloromethane (3 mL, dried over molecular sieves). Triethylamine (0.36 mL; 2.58 mmol) (Aldrich) was added and the solution was cooled in an ice-water bath. Ethyl chloroformate (0.16 mL; 1.63 mmol) (Aldrich) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred in the cold for 1 hour. The mixture was then diluted with additional dichloromethane, washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to yield (S)-(+)-3-(tert-butyl-diphenyl-silanyloxy)-2-methylpropionic acid chloride.
