Methyl iodide → HCID 58499665, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diisopropylamine (17.4 ml) and iodomethane (7.7 ml) were added to a tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) solution of the [(R)-1-(4-ethyl-5-mercapto-4H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)ethyl]-carbamic acid t-butyl ester (28.12 g) obtained in Example 8-(3). The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature, and then precipitated crystals were filtered. The filtrate was concentrated, and the resulting crude crystals were washed with a hexane-ethyl acetate solvent mixture (3:1, 200 ml), followed by drying, to obtain [(R)-1-(4-ethyl-5-methylsulfanyl-4H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)ethyl]-carbamic acid t-butyl ester as a white powder (29.5 g).
