Participants

Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran was dissolved 1.0 g of N-(cyclohexylmethoxycarbonyl)-tyrosine. To the solution, 380 mg of sodium borohydride was added with stirring. After 10 minutes, to the mixture was added dropwise 15 ml of tetrahydrofuran solution containing 1.45 ml of boron trifluoride etherate. The mixture was stirred for 20 hours. After addition of 3% hydrochloric acid, the mixture was concentrated and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried and concentrated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in chloroform and subjected to column chromatography with 10 g of silicagel to give N-(cyclohexylmethoxycarbonyl)tyrosinol.
