Participants

Reaction Steps

In 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran was dissolved 10 ml of a 65% toluene solution of sodium dihydrobis-(2-methoxyethoxy)-aluminate. To the solution was added dropwise 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran solution and 1.0 g of N-(cyclohexylmethoxycarbonyl)-tyrosine while stirring and cooling with ice. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for two hours. After addition of 5% hydrochloric acid, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried and concentrated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in chloroform and subjected to column chromatography with 10 g of silicagel to give 322 mg of N-(cyclohexylmethoxycarbonyl)-tyrosinol.
