Hydrochloric Acid → Ethyl 3-hydroxy-3-(1-trityl-1h-imidazol-4-yl)propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under argon atmosphere, 5.6 mL (2.96 mmol, 1 equivalent) of the solution of ethyl bromozincacetate in tetrahydrofuran obtained in Example 43 was added dropwise to a solution of 1 g (2.96 mmol) of 1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-carbaldehyde in 10 mL of THF at 3˜6° C. The mixture was stirred at 0˜5° C. for 1 hour and 25 minutes. 5.6 mL (2.96 mmol, 1 equivalent) of the solution of ethyl bromozincacetate in tetrahydrofuran obtained in Example 43 was added dropwise at 0˜3° C. The mixture was stirred at 2˜3° C. for 5 hours and 30 minutes. 5 mL of 1N hydrochloric acid was added dropwise at 20° C. or lower, followed by dilution with 30 mL of ethyl acetate. Then, the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed successively with 5 mL of 1N hydrochloric acid, 5 mL of water, 5 mL (×2) of an aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and 5 mL (×2) of an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution. After washing, the organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After concentration under reduced pressure, recrystallization with 3 mL of IPE afforded 1.16 g of the desired product (yield 92%).
