Diiodomethane → tert-butyl 6-[(benzyloxy)methyl]-3-azabicyclo[4.I.0]heptane-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, after diethyl zinc (1.0M hexane solution: 27.0 ml) was added to dichloromethane (40 ml) with ice cooling, a TFA (2 ml)/dichloromethane (10 ml) solution was added dropwise, and stirring was performed under ice cooling for 40 minutes. Then, after a diiodomethane (7.24 g)/dichloromethane (10 ml) solution was added dropwise and further stirring was performed at the same temperature for 40 minutes. Tert-butyl 4-[(benzyloxy)methyl]-3,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate (3.28 g)/dichloromethane (30 ml) solution was added dropwise, and stirring was performed at room temperature for 15 hours. After adding triethylamine under ice cooling and adjusting pH to 7 to 8, di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (2.83 g) was added, and stirring was performed at room temperature for 5 hours. A saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution was added, extraction was performed with chloroform, followed by washing with saturated brine and drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The residue obtained by concentration under reduced pressure was purified by silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/hexane) to obtain tert-butyl 6-[(benzyloxy)methyl]-3-azabicyclo[4.I.0]heptane-3-carboxylate (2.22 g).
