Hydrochloric Acid → N-hydroxy-2(R)-[[diphenylphosphinyl]benzylamino]-propionamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To N-(diphenylphosphinyl)-N-benzyl-D-alanine methyl ester (100 mg, 0.25 mmol) is added a solution of NH2OK (0.88 mL, 1.76M in methanol) prepared as described in Fieser and Fieser, Vol. 1, p. 478. The reaction is stirred for 16 hours at which time TLC indicates completion. The reaction mixture is neutralized with 1M aqueous HCl and the volatiles are removed. The product is purified by silica gel flash chromatography (100% ethyl acetate) to give N-hydroxy-2(R)-[[diphenylphosphinyl]benzylamino]-propionamide as an oil: MS-IS m/z 395 [M+H]+, 417 [M+Na]+. (R1 =benzyl, R2 =methyl, R3 =phenyl, R4 =phenyl).
