Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Boc-L-propargyl glycine (5 g, 23.45 mmol) in DCM (100 ml) was added cyclopentanol (3.03 g, 35.2 mmol), EDC (4.93 g, 25.8 mmol) and DMAP (0.286 g, 2.345 mmol). The mixture was stirred overnight at RT. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was subjected to column chromatography eluting with 7 to 12% EtOAc in hexanes. Yield=5.5 g, 19.55 mmol, 83% yield.
