Participants

Reaction Steps

Chloromethyl chloroformate (2.70 mL, 30 mmol) was added to a solution of 1,3-di-O-(N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-valyl)glycerol (7.27 g, 14.8 mmol) and pyridine (7.2 mL, 89 mmol) in 60 mL dry CH2Cl2, in an ice bath, under N2. After stirring for 1 h 45 min, the reaction mixture was diluted with 100 mL CH2Cl2 and washed with 40 mL water. The aqueous phase was reextracted with 20 mL H2O. The organic phases were combined, washed with 40 mL saturated NaHCO3, followed by 2×50 mL brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum. Flash column chromatography on silica gel with 2/1 hexane-EtOAc gave 8.03 g (93%) of the title compound (alternative nomenclature: 1,3-bis(N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-valyloxy)-2-propyl chloromethyl carbonate).
