4-Methylmorpholine → HCID 20281533, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl fluoroacetate (2.0 g, 18.9 m mol) in ether (25 ml) was added dropwise with stirring to a suspension of NaH (50 percent oil dispersion)(0.91 g, 18.9 m mol) in ether (20 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred three hours at room temperature, then cooled to -15°. The mixed anhydride of Boc-Pro-OH [prepared from Boc-Pro-OH (4.1 g, 18.9 m mol) in the THF (50 ml) containing N-methylmorpholine (2.1 ml, 18.9 m mol) at -15°, by the addition of isobutylchloroformate (2.45 ml, 18.9 m mol) and stirred 5 minutes] was filtered into the chilled enolate suspension and stirred at -15° for 10 minutes. The reaction was then allowed to warm to room temperature for one hour. The solution was poured onto ice containing 2.5N H2SO4. The organic solvents were removed by evaporation and the aqueous residue extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate solution was washed with saturated NaHCO3, saturated with NaCl, and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The ethyl acetate was removed by evaporation and the residue was applied to a silica gel column. The product was eluted with chloroform. The solvent was removed by evaporation yielding 1.08 g of an oil. The 1H nmr (CDCl3) showed peaks shifted from TMS by ##STR5##
