Ethanol → 2-(6-Tert-butoxycarbonylamino-pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-3-butyl-2-ethoxycarbonyl-succinic acid diethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-butyl-3-ethoxycarbonyl-succinic acid diethyl ester (1 g, 3 mmol) and NaH (119 mg, 5 mmol) in DMF (20 ml) was stirred for 60 minutes at 0° C. under argon. (5-Bromomethyl-pyridin-2-yl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1.425 g, 5 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one week. Ethanol (1 ml) was added and the reaction was poured into H2O and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and concentrated under reduced pressure. The product was purified by column chromatography (heptane/ethyl acetate, 4:1 to 1:1) to give 2-(6-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-3-butyl-2-ethoxycarbonyl-succinic acid diethyl ester (1.2 g, 71.3%).
