3-Iodobenzylamine → 1-tert-butyl (1S,2R)-1-(3,5-difluorobenzyl)-2-hydroxy-3-[(3-iodobenzyl)amino]propylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl (1S)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-1-[(2S)-oxiranyl]ethylcarbamate (V, PREPARATION 3, 1.75 g, 5.8 mmole) is mixed with isopropanol (30 ml). The reaction flask is charged with 3-iodobenzylamine (VI). The reaction mixture is heated to reflux for 45 minutes, HPLC analysis indicates complete disappearance of the epoxide (V). The reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is partitioned between ethyl acetate (150 ml) and aqueous hydrochloric acid (3%, 35 ml). The organic phase is separated and washed with aqueous hydrochloric acid (3%, 20 ml), bicarbonate, saline and dried over sodium sulfate. Concentration under reduced pressure gives the title compound, M+H=535.
