Benzyl chloroformate → HCID 68719246, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ((R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-propyl)-cyclohexylmethyl-phosphinic acid (7.05 g, 30 mmol) and potassium carbonate (12.42 g, 90 mmol) in water (90 mL) and THF (30 mL) was added benzyl chloroformate (7.65 g, 45 mmol). After stirring for 3 h at room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (150 mL) and 2N HCl (90 mL). After stirring vigorously for 10 min the aqueous layer was removed and the organic layer was diluted with heptane (200 mL). The resulting white precipitate was collected to yield ((R)-3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-hydroxy-propyl)-cyclohexylmethyl-phosphinic acid (10.5 g, 28 mmol). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 7.32 (m, 5H), 5.45 (br s, 1H), 5.10 (s, 2H), 4.2 (m, 1H), 3.4 (dd, 1H), 3.20 (dd, 1H), 2.01-1.55 (m, 10H), 1.40-0.95 (m, 5H). 31P NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 57.3. LC/MS m/z: [M+H]+=370.
