Potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide → HCID 131726814, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1.13 g, 5.66 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) at 0° C. was added diethyl phosphite (0.73 g, 5.66 mmol). After 10 min, 3-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)propanal (0.78 g, 3.77 mmol) was added as a solution in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL). After 30 min, the reaction was quenched by the addition of 2N hydrochloric acid (25 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The organic layer was washed with sat'd sodium chloride (50 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel chromatography eluting with hexane/acetone (1:1) gave a colorless oil (0.36 g): ESI-MS 346.1 (M+H).
