Benzenebutanoic acid, alpha-bromo-, ethyl ester → HCID 13854109, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the procedure described in Example 42(h), 0.40 g of t-butyl α-[6-amino-5-oxo-2-(2-thienyl)perhydro-1,4-thiazepin-4-yl]acetate [prepared as described in step (g) above] was N-alkylated using 0.64 g of ethyl 2-bromo-4-phenylbutyrate. The resulting product was subjected to silica gel column chromatography eluted with a 1:20 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate and methylene chloride, to separate it into two isomers, A and B, (ascribed to the asymmetric carbon atom to which the phenethyl group is attached).
