4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → (2S,3R)-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-(toluene-4-sulfonylamino)-pentanoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (2S,3R)-2-amino-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-pentanoic acid methyl ester (0.50 g, 3.4 mmol) and triethylamine (0.69 g, 6.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added 4-methyl-benzenesulfonyl chloride (0.71 g, 3.7 mmol) at 0° C. After stirring for 2 hours at room temperature, the mixture was washed with water and the organic layer was separated and then dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of solvent, the residue was used in next step without purification. MS: calc'd (MH+) 316, measured (MH+) 316.
