Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil; 180 mg, 4.43 mmol) was added to a solution of benzyl 6-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-oxo-1,4-diazepane-1-carboxylate (1.34 g, 3.69 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (25 mL) at −35° C. After 15 min, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trichloromethanesulfonate (0.911 mL, 5.54 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at −35° C. After 2 h, an additional amount of sodium hydride (100 mg, 2.5 mmol) and trichloromethanesulfonate (0.500 mL, 3.04 mmol) were added. After 18 h, the reaction was quenched with water and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water (3×), saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (hexanes→30% ethyl acetate/hexanes) gave the title compound (690 mg). MS 446 (M+1).
