Thionyl Chloride → (2S)-2-(1-Adamantylmethoxycarbonylamino)-3-((5-(2-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylcarbamoyl)-ethyl)-thiophene-2-carbonyl)-amino)-propionic Acid Isobutyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.38 g (0.7 mmol) of (2S)-2-(1-adamantylmethoxycarbonylamino)-3-((5-(2-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylcarbamoyl)-ethyl)-thiophene-2-carbonyl)-amino)-propionic acid (example 15) were dissolved in 7 ml of isobutanol. Under an inert gas atmosphere and under external ice cooling 0.19 ml of thionyl chloride were cautiously added. After stirring for 8 hours at room temperature the reaction was complete. The solvents were removed in vacuo to give a colourless foam which was purified by chromatography (silica gel; isopropanol/ethyl acetate/water (4/3/1; v/v/v)). The fractions containing the title compound were lyosphilized to give 0.30 g of a colourless solid.
