Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-2-methylpropionic acid (2.0 grams, 19.4 mmole) in 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (45 mL) and dioxane (45 mL) was added 5-pyridin-2-ylthiophene-2-sulfonyl chloride (8.41 grams, 32.4 mmole). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Additional 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (45 mL) was added to the reaction mixture which was then extracted with diethyl ether. The organic extracts were discarded. The aqueous layer was acidified with 1 N hydrochloric acid solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate fractions were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to afford 2-methyl-2-(5pyridin-2-ylthiophene-2-sulfonylamino)propionic acid as a white solid (2.18 grams, 34%).
