Water → Tert-butyl 3-(1-fluorocyclohexyl)-2-(4-methylphenylsulfonamido)propyl(methyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 3-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-(4-methylphenylsulfonamido)-propyl(methyl)carbamate (9.23 g, 21 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (100 mL) at −78° C. was added (dimethylamino)sulfur trifluoride (4.2 g, 32 mmol). The reaction mixture was poured into water (80 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica eluted with 10:90 hexanes/EtOAc to afford a light yellow solid. The crude product was purified further by preparative HPLC to give tert-butyl 3-(1-fluorocyclohexyl)-2-(4-methylphenylsulfonamido)propyl(methyl)carbamate (1.85 g). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 1.24-1.52 (m, 19H), 1.74-1.79 (m, 3H), 2.42 (s, 3H), 2.50 (s, 3H), 3.15 (m, 1H), 3.40 (m, 2H), 7.30 (d, 2H), 7.72 (d, J=8.4, 2H). MS (E/Z): 443 (M+H+).
