Dimethyl Sulfoxide → tert-butyl (5R)-1-oxaspiro[2.5]octan-5-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Me3SOI (56.2 mmol) in DMSO (80 ml) was added NaH (51.5 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 2 h until the solution become clear. The resulting solution was added tert-butyl 3-oxocyclohexylcarbamate (23.4 mmol) and stirred at rt overnight. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with hexane. The extracts were combined and dried using anhydrous sodium sulfate. The product was purified using Biotage. The final products, isomer 1 and isomer 2, were well separated on silicon column with 15%-20% ethyl acetate in hexane. Each single diastereomer was used for the next step.
