Reaction Steps

To a solution of (+/−)-(1R,2R,4R,6S)-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-(3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)pyridin-4-yl)-6-methylcyclohexyl methanesulfonate (1.0 equiv.) in DMF (0.25 M) was added potassium thioacetate (6.0 equiv.). The mixture was stirred for 6 hours in a 60° C. bath under Ar. Upon cooling and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc and H2O. The organic layer was washed with H2O (3x), Na2CO3(sat), NaCl(sat), dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by ISCO SiO2 chromatography to yield (+/−)S-((1S,2R,4R,6S)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-4-(3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)pyridin-4-yl)-6-methylcyclohexyl) ethanethioate in 87% yield. LC/MS (m/z)=480.3 (MH+), Rt=0.82 min.
