Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-O-chloromethoxycarbonyl-1,3-di-O-(N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-valyl)propane-1,2,3-triol (7.86 g, 13.5 mmol) and NaI (8.09 g, 54.0 mmol) in 135 mL dry acatonitirile was refluxed at 80° C. for 4 h under N2. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum, and then partitioned between 150 mL diethyl ether and 50 mL H2O. The aqueous layer was reextracted with 2×25 mL ether. The combined organic phases were washed successively with 25 mL aqueous Na2S2O3 and 50 mL brine, dried over NA2SO4, and concentrated. Flash column chromatography (silica gel, 2/1 hexane-ethyl acetate gave 8.38 g (92%) title product (alternative name: 2-iodomethoxycarbonyloxy-1,3-bis-(N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-valyloxy)propane or 1,3-bis(N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-valyloxy)-2-propyl iodomethyl carbonate) as a white solid.
