Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → S-[(Diphenylphosphino)methyl] 2-(acetylamino)ethanethioate

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Acetylglycine (1.90 g, 16.2 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous DMF (75 mL). HOBt (2.48 g, 16.2 mmol) was added to the resulting solution followed by DCC (3.34 g, 16.2 mmol). Once precipitate (DCU) was observed, phosphinothiol 1b was added (3.77 g, 16.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir under Ar(g) for 3 h. The precipitate was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a white solid. This solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate and purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate). Compound 51 was isolated in 96% yield. Spectral Data. As reported previously
