Triethylamine → t-Butyl alpha-{6(R)-[1(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropylamino]-5-oxo-2-(2-thienyl)perhydro-1,4-thiazepin-4-yl}acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4.0 g of ethyl 4-phenyl-2-(R)-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxybutyrate in 15 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise to a solution of 4.0 g of t-butyl α-[6(R)-amino-5-oxo-2-(2-thienyl)perhydro-1,4-thiazepin-4-yl]acetate [prepared as described in step (g) above] and 1.62 ml of triethylamine in 50 ml of methylene chloride. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature, after which it was washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate; the solvent was then evaporated off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, using a 20:1 by volume mixture of methylene chloride and ethyl acetate as the eluent, to give 5.5 g of the title compound in the form of a syrup.
