Diisobutylaluminum hydride → (R)-tert-Butyl (1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-oxopropan-2-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Next, to a solution of (R)-3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-propionic acid methyl ester (1.0 g, 2.79 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) is added DIBAL-H (4.85 mL, 1.0M in DCM) slowly by using syringe pump at −78° C. After the addition is complete the reaction is quenched by adding EtOAc and the mixture is warmed to room temperature. Then a saturated sodium potassium tartaric acid is added and the mixture is and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The organic phase is separated and the aqueous layer is extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give [(R)-1-(4-bromo-benzyl)-2-oxo-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester which is used directly in the next reaction.
