Triphenylphosphine → (2S)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)hexane-3-yl 4-nitrobenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-nitrobenzoate (16.3 g), triphenylphosphine (32 g), and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (40% toluene solution) (64 ml) were added dropwise to a tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) solution containing tert-butyl((2S)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-yl)carbamate (17 g) for 30 minutes, followed by stirring at room temperature for 14 hours. The solvent was distilled away from the reaction solution under reduced pressure, the obtained residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=5.5:1), and a yellow solid of (2S)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)hexane-3-yl 4-nitrobenzoate (17 g) was thus obtained.
