Pyridine → HCID 57699918, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a slurry of N-bromo succinimide (1.86 g, 10.4 mmol) in DCM (16.2 ml) was added a solution of triphenyl phosphine (2.56 g, 9.74 mmol) in DCM (7.2 ml). The solution was stirred for a further 5 minutes after addition. Pyridine (338 μl, 4.18 mmol) was added, followed by a solution of cyclopentyl(2R)-4-hydroxy-2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]butanoate (1.0 g, 3.48 mmol) in DCM (8.8 ml). The solution was stirred for 18 hrs, concentrated in vacuo and the residual solvent azeotroped with toluene (3×16 ml). The residue was triturated with diethyl ether (10 ml) and ethyl acetate:heptane (1:9, 2×10 ml). The combined ether and heptane solutions was concentrated onto silica and purified by column chromatography using ethyl acetate/heptane (1:9-2:8) to provide 1.02 g (84% yield) of title compound.
