chloromethyl (2S)-2-(((tert-butoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-methylbutanoate → HCID 70605492, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 5 grams of 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-carboethoxy-2-(1-pyrryl)acetyl]amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid sodium salt and 8.5 grams of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-valine chloromethyl ester, prepared by the general procedure described in W. German Offen. No. 2,236,620 are mixed in 100 ml of dimethylformamide (DMF) and stirred for 72 hours. The mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, aqueous sodium bicarbonate and again with water. The ethyl acetate portion is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness to give 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-[[2-carboethoxy-2-(1-pyrryl)acetyl]-amino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2-amino-3-methylbutyryloxymethyl ester from which the protecting group can be removed by standard procedures to give the title compound.
