Ethyl bromoacetate → 1,1-Dioxo-3-butyl-3-ethyl-5-phenyl-7-bromo-8-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzothiazepine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,1-dioxo-3-butyl-3-ethyl-5-phenyl-7-bromo-8-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzothiazepine (WO 96/16051; 0.3 g), ethyl bromoacetate (0.14 g), sodium carbonate (0.3 g), tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.02 g) in MeCN (10 ml) were refluxed for 4 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between DCM/H2O and the organic layer was separated. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by chromatography (DCM/EtOAc, 90:10) to give the title compound 0.34 g (95%). NMR (500 Mz; CDCl3): 0.7–0.9 (m, 6H), 1.0–1.8 (m, 11H), 3.2 (m, 2H), 3.6–3.8 (br s, 2H), 4.3 (q, 2H), 4.7 (s, 2H), 7.0–7.1 (m, 3H), 7.15 (s, 1H), 7.3 (m, 2H), 7.4 (s, 1H).
