Triethylamine → (2R,3S)-2-isopropyl-4-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-morpholine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (2S,3R)-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-(toluene-4-sulfonylamino)-pentanoic acid methyl ester (0.4 g, 1.27 mmol) and diphenylvinylsulfonium triflate (0.5 g, 1.4 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added triethylamine dropwise at 0° C. After stirring for 12 hours, the mixture was diluted with water, and then extracted with ethyl acetate, then dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of solvent, the residue was purified by flash chromatopraphy (eluented with ethyl acetate/hexane=1:4) to afford the product as a white solid. MS: calc'd (MH+) 342, measured (MH+) 342.
