Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Starting from (R)-2-amino-3-furan-3-yl-propionic acid (DE3829451), (R)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-furan-3-yl-propionic acid is prepared. Under argon 420 mg (R)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-furan-3-yl-propionic acid are suspended in 2.5 ml dimethoxyethane suspended. The reaction mixture is cooled to −30° C. 220 μl N-methylmorpholine are added and then 240 μl isobutylchloroformate in 1.5 ml dimethoxyethane is added dropwise. The reaction mixture is allowed to come up to −5° C. and the precipitate is quickly filtered. The filtrate is cooled to −15° C. 100 mg sodium borohydride and a few drops of water are added. The reaction mixture is stirred for 1 hour at ambient temperature and evaporated to dryness. The residue is suspended in ethyl acetate. The reaction mixture is dried and evaporated to dryness. 370 mg of the product are obtained as a solid. Analytical HPLC-MS (method D): RT=1.21 min.
