Hexachloroethane → METHYL N-BOC-3-CHLORO-L-ALANINATE

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of triphenylphosphine (4.55 g, 17.4 mmol) and hexachloroethane (3.9 g, 16.5 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (18 mL) prepared at 0° C. was added via cannula into a flask containing a solution of methyl N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-serinate (3.2 g, 14.6 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane DCE (40 mL), kept at 0° C. under N2 atmosphere. After the addition was completed, the reaction mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 2 h, diluted with DCM, washed with sat NaHCO3, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Purification made through chromatographic column of silicagel eluted with 10% to 50% EtOAc in hexane for 30 min, to afford 2.13 g (61% yield) of title compound as white crystals. MS: m/z=260.0 (MNa+).
