Reaktionsschritte

A solution of N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-L-serine (24.3 g., 0.118 mole) in dry dimethylformamide (25 ml.) was added dropwise over a period of 1.0 hour to a cooled (0°, ice-salt bath) suspension of 60% sodium hydride (10.1 g., 0.25 mole) in dry dimethylformamide (200 ml.) and stirring was continued at 0° until the frothing subsided (about 2.0 hours). The reaction mixture was treated dropwise with 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene (14.3 ml., 0.13 mole) over a period of 20 minutes, stirred at 0° under argon for 4.0 hours then poured into ice-water (750 ml.) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 ml.). The aqueous phase was brought to pH 1.0 with 6 N hydrochloric acid (70 ml.), extracted with ethyl acetate (3×500 ml.) and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine (100 ml.), dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate), filtered, evaporated to dryness and dried in vacuo. The crude product mixture was chromatographed on a silica gel column (Merck), eluting the column with methylene chloride:methanol:acetic acid (100:5:0.2) to give 27.22 g. of product as a thick yellow syrup; Rf =0.27 (methylene chloride:methanol:acetic acid, 100:5:0.5).
