Propane sultone → HCID 11458776, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-(−)-2-amino-3-methyl-1-butanol (2.50 g, 24.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (35 mL) was slowly added 1,3-propane sultone (2.89 g, 23.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred at reflux for 3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The solid material was collected by filtration, washed with acetone (2×25 mL). The crude product was suspended in 80% acetone/ethanol (75 mL). The suspension was stirred at reflux for 30 seconds. The solid product was collected by filtration, and dried in a vacuum oven (50° C.), to afford compound EP (2.9 g, 56%). 1H NMR (D2O, 500 MHz) δ ppm 3.78 (dd, 1H), 3.62 (dd, 1H), 3.13 (m, 2H), 2.90 (m, 1H), 2.88 (t, 3H), 1.90 (m, 3H), 0.90 (d, 3H), 0.84 (d, 3H). 13C NMR (D2O, 125 MHz) δ ppm 64.74, 57.24, 48.20, 44.44, 26.98, 21.49, 18.53, 17.00. [α]D=+4.1° (c=0.0017 in water), ES-MS 224 (M−1).
