Reaction Steps

The starting material (14) (1.65 g, 2.99 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (18 ml) and cooled to 0° C. Cyclohexene (1.5 ml, 14.95 mmol) and SO2Cl2 (0.72 ml, 8.97 mmol) were added and stirred 1 h in ice bath. TLC indicated starting material still to be present whereupon a further aliquot of SO2Cl2 (0.24 ml) was added and the mixture stirred for 1 h at 0° C. Volatiles were removed by evaporation to yield a light brown solid that was redissolved in 18 ml of dry DMF (18 ml) under N2. Sodium azide (0.97 g, 14.95 mmol) was then added to the solution and stirred for 2.5 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was passed through a pad of silica and eluted with EtOAc and the volatiles removed by high vacuum evaporation. The resulting brown gel was purified by flash chromatography (petroleum ether:EtOAc 4:1 to 2:1) to yield the desired product as a white crystalline solid (15) (0.9 g, 55%). 1H NMR (d6 DMSO): δ 0.00 (s, 6H, CH3), 0.78 (s, 9H, tBu), 2.16 (m, 1H, H-2′), 2.22 (m, 1H, H-2′), 3.70 (d, 1H, J=11.5 Hz, H-5′), 3.75 (d, 1H, J=11.3 Hz, H-5′), 4.01 (m, 1H, H-4′), 4.10 (m, 1H, CH2NH), 4.23 (m, 1H, H-3′), 4.76 (s, 2H, CH2S), 5.99 (m, 1H, H-1′), 7.37 (m, 2H, Ph), 7.50 (m, 2H, Ph), 7.81 (d, 1H, J=7.4 Hz, Ph), 7.95 (s, 1H, H-6), 9.78 (br s, 1H, NHCH2), 12.64 (br s, 1H, NH).
