Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 150 mg di-tert-butyl (4R)—N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-[(5-hydroxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]-L-glutamate (0.32 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (8 mL) was added 126 mg of cesium carbonate (0.39 mmol), followed by 143 mg of 1,2-ethanediol di-p-toluenesulfonate (0.39 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 5 h at room temperature. Water was added, the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane, and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated. The crude product was purified by preparative HPLC (method A) to give 86 mg (40% yield) of the title compound.
