Ethyl Thioglycolate → HCID 89543486, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

(E)-(2-Nitrovinyl)cyclopropane (4-11, 750 mg, 6.63 mmol) was taken up in THF (20 mL). To this was added ethyl thioglycolate (0.88 mL, 7.98 mmol) then TEA (1.2 mL, 8.61 mmol) at rt. After stirring overnight the mixture was concentrated. The crude product was subjected to silica gel chromatography (40 g, 0-20% EtOAc/hexanes, 10 minute gradient) to afford ethyl 2-((1-cyclopropyl-2-nitroethyl)thio)acetate (4-12, 1.46 g, 94%) as a clear oil. 1H NMR (399 MHz, CDCl3): δ 4.73-4.58 (m, 2H); 4.21 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H); 3.34 (d, J=6.2 Hz, 2H); 2.93 (dt, J=9.9, 7.2 Hz, 1H); 1.30 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H); 1.00-0.90 (m, 1H); 0.69 (dd, J=8.0, 1.6 Hz, 2H); 0.47-0.36 (m, 2H).
