Toluene → {2-Phenyl-4-[(thiazol-2-ylamino)carbonylthio]benzoyl}-methionine methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-phenyl-4-mercaptobenzoyl-methionine methyl ester from example 12E or 12F (1 equivalent) in methylene chloride is added a solution of phosgene in toluene (1.0 equivalent) and p-dimethylaminopyridine (2.0 equivalents). When the reaction is judged complete by TLC analysis, the solvent is evaporated with toluene chasers. The thiochloroformate is reacted without further purification with 2-aminothiazol (1.0 equivalent) and triethylamine (1.0 equivalent) in dichloromethane. When judged complete by TLC analysis, the reaction is taken up in ethyl acetate and washed with 1N HCl and brine, evaporated, and purified by chromatography on silica gel.
