2-Nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride → methyl 2(S)-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-(2-nitrophenylsulfonamido)propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 3-amino-2(S)-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)propanoate ii (1.6 g, 7.3 mmoL) in DCM (50 mL) was added DIPEA (1.64 mL, 9.4 mmoL) and 2-nitrobenzene sulfonyl chloride (1.62 g, 7.3 mmoL). The mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h. It was then concentrated, dissolved in ethyl acetate, which was then washed with sat. sodium bicarbonate, brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. It was then filtered, concentrated to yield 2.9 g (98%) of methyl 2(S)-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-(2-nitrophenylsulfonamido)propanoate iii as a yellow foam. 1H NMR (CD3OD, 300 MHz) δ 1.41 (s, 9 H), 3.36-3.51 (m, 2 H), 3.71 (s, 3 H), 4.22 (m, 1 H), 7.80-7.90 (m, 3 H), 8.07-8.10 (m, 1 H).
