Isopropanol → Ethyl 2-[2-[tert-butoxycarbonyl-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]amino]thiazol-4-yl]-2-isopropoxy-acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-[2-[tert-butoxycarbonyl-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]amino]thiazol-4-yl]-2-diazo-acetate (0.6 g, 1.38 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (10 mL) under argon atmosphere. To this solution, iso-propanol (0.12 mL, 1.66 mmol) was added followed by rhodium (II) acetate dimer (12 mg, 0.028 mmol). Mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. then diluted with DCM (10 mL). Organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude product which was purified by silica gel column chromatography using 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to provide ethyl 2-[2-[tert-butoxycarbonyl-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]amino]thiazol-4-yl]-2-isopropoxy-acetate (0.55 g).
