Benzyl chloroformate → benzyl {(1S)-1-[2-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]pent-4-en-1-yl}carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To DIPEA (7.48 mL, 42.8 mmol) and (1S)-1-[2-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]pent-4-en-1-amine (4.4 g, 14.3 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was added benzyl chloroformate at 0° C. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and was quenched with water. The organic was washed with 10% aqueous KOH and the aqueous was back-extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated and then purified by column chromatography to yield benzyl {(1S)-1-[2-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]pent-4-en-1-yl}carbamate (5.8 g, 13.1 mmol). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.72 (m, 1H), 7.58 (s, 1H), 7.39 (b, 5H), 7.1 (m, 1H), 5.83 (m, 1H), 5.3 (b, 1H), 5.15 (m, 3H), 2.22 (m, 1H), 2.18 (m, 1H), 1.95 (m, 1H), 1.78 (m, 1H).
