Sodium Hydroxide → 2-Tert-butoxycarbonylmethoxyimino-2-(1,2,5-thiadiazol-3-yl)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1,2,5-thiadiazol-3-yl)glyoxylic acid (6 g) in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) and water (30 ml) was added tert-butoxycarbonylmethoxyamine (8.37 g) at ambient temperature. The mixture was adjusted to pH 4.5-5.0 with 4N aqueous sodium hydroxide and stirred at ambient temperature for 4 hours. The mixture was adjusted to pH 7.5 with 4N aqueous sodium hydroxide and washed with ethyl acetate (100 ml×2). The aqueous solution was acidified to pH 2.0 with 10% hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×2). The organic layer was washed with an aqueous sodium chloride and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solution was evaporated in vacuo to give 2-tert-butoxycarbonylmethoxyimino-2-(1,2,5-thiadiazol-3-yl)acetic acid (syn and anti mixture) (10.02 g).
