Hydrochloric Acid → N-[(pent-4-en-1-yloxy)carbonyl]-norleucine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl N-[(pent-4-enyloxy)carbonyl]-norleucinate (8.50 g, 33.03 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added 1 N NaOH (20 mL). This reaction solution was stirred at RT for 3 hours, then acidified to pH 3 with 1 N HCl and extracted with (3×250 mL) EtOAc. The combined EtOAc layer was washed with 50 mL water, 50 mL brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give 7.09 g (88%) of the title product as clear oil. LRMS (ESI) m/z 244 [(M+H)+; calcd for C12H22NO4: 244].
