Acetone → tert-Butyl ((trans-4-(((benzyloxy)carbonyl)amino)cyclohexyl)methyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromoacetylanisole (1.5 g, 6.5 mmol), trans-4-(aminocarbothioylamino)-1-(t-butoxycarbonyl-amino)methyl-cyclohexane (1.88 g, 6.5 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (2.3 ml, 13.1 mmol) in acetone (20 ml) was heated at reflux temperature overnight. The solvent was evaporated, the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography over silica gel (hexanes/ethyl acetate 5:2) to give the desired product as a light brown oil (1.2 g, 44% yield): ESMS m/e=418 (MH+): 1H NMR δ 8.08 (dd, 1H, J=1.6, 7.7 Hz), 7.24 (m, 1H), 7.18 (s, 1H), 7.01 (t, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 6.95 (d, 1H, J=8.2 Hz), 4.96 (d, 1H, J=8.1 Hz), 4.60 (m, 1H), 3.93 (s, 3H), 3.30 (m, 1H), 3.01 (t, 2H, J=6.4 Hz), 2.25 (m, 2H), 1.84 (m, 2H), 1.47 (m, 1H), 1.45 (s, 9H), 1.30-1.03 (m, 4H).
