Participants

Reaction Steps

(±)-trans-N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-1,2-cyclohexane-diamine (642 mg) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml), and to the solution lithium 5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate (795 mg), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole monohydrate (46 mg) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (2.30 g) were added, and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. After the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and dichloromethane and water were added to the residue, the organic layer was taken out and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane:methanol=100:3) to obtain a pale yellow foamy substance. This substance was dissolved in dichloromethane (5 ml), and trifluoroacetic acid (30 ml) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 minute. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced-pressure to obtain the title compound (731 mg) as a pale brown foamy substance.
