Dichloromethane → 4-Benzyloxybenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3R-carboxylate-6-nitro-2H-3,4-dihydro-[2-1b]imidazopyran (Example 21, 1 eq.), triethylamine (1 eq.), diphenylphosphoryl azide (1 eq.) in toluene is heated at 80° C. for 4 h, cooled and t-butanol is added. The reaction is warmed to 70° C. for an additional 1 h. Workup in the standard fashion gives the Boc amine. Deprotection of the Boc group (trifluoroacetic acid:dichloromethane, 1:1) and addition of 4-benzyloxybenzoyl chloride and triethylamine gives the 4-benzyloxybenzamide of 3R-amino-6-nitro-2H-3,4-dihydro-[2-1b]imidazopyran.
