1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → (1R,2S)-ethyl 1-(1H-imidazole-1-carboxamido)-2-vinylcyclopropanecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen, (1R,2S)-ethyl 1-amino-2-vinylcyclopropanecarboxylate tosylate salt (5 g, 1 eq.) and CDI (2.7 g, 1.1 eq.) were dissolved in THF (50 mL) containing TEA (2.3 mL, 1.1 eq.). The reaction mixture was then refluxed overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in DCM, and washed twice with water. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and then concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel to yield compound 33 as pale yellow oil in 70% yield.
