3-Aminopropionitrile → (S)-Tert-butyl 3-(3'-chlorobiphenyl-4-yl)-1-(2-cyanoethylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-(3′-chlorobiphenyl-4-yl)propanoic acid (1 g, 2.66 mmol) in THF (30 ml) at room temperature was added EDC.HCl (1.020 g, 5.32 mmol) and HOBT (0.815 g, 5.32 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes then was added 3-aminopropionitrile (0.389 ml, 5.32 mmol) and TEA (0.742 ml, 5.32 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched by brine and was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 2 to 4% EtOH/DCM) and gave the title compound: 1.1 g (yield: 97%). LCMS (condition B): 428.2 (M+1); retention time=1.20 min.
