Iodoacetamide → (2S,4R)-4-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-(carbamoylmethyl)thiomethyl-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2S,4R)-2-acetylthiomethyl-4-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine (2.0 g) in methanol (20 ml) was added 28% sodium methoxide-methanol solution (0.98 ml) under an atmosphere of nitrogen at 0° C. After stirring at the same temperature for 10 minutes, to this reaction mixture was added 2-iodoacetamide (1.02 g) under the same condition. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 ml). The solution was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and saturated sodium chloride successively, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo to give (2S,4R)-4-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-(carbamoylmethyl)thiomethyl-1-(4nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine (2.11 g).
