(5)-2-((((9/ -fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-2-cyclopropylacetic acid (43a): To a stirred solution of Na2C03 (2.3 g) in water (34 mL) was added (<S)-2-amino-2-cyclopropylacetic acid (1.0 g, 8.68 mmol). The resulted solution was cooled to 0 C and 1,4-dioxane (21.7 mL) was added dropwise at the same temperature. A solution of Fmoc-Cl (2.48 g, 9.59 mmol) in dioxane (21.7 mL) was added dropwise to the above reaction mixture over 10 min at 0 C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0 C for 2 h followed by 6 h at 25 C. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the resulted residue was dissolved in water (150 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (4 x 150 mL). The aqueous layer was then acidified with {M) HC1 to pH 2 and extracted with EtOAc (4 x 100 mL). The resulted organic layers were combined and washed with brine (100 mL), dried over Na2S04, and evaporated to give a white solid. The solid was stirred with hexane (60 mL) for 1 h and then hexane was decanted. The white solid was dissolved in boiling ethyl acetate (50 mL). Then hexane (100 mL) was added dropwise to the above solution while warming gently. The solution was allowed to cool to room temperature and then kept at 0 C for crystallization. The crystallized white solid was isolated by filtration, washed with hexane (2 x 50 mL), and vacuum dried to give 43a as a white solid (2.45 g, 84% yield). 43a: [alpha] = +15.7 (c 1.0, CH2C12); FT-IR (neat) 2669, 2335, 2159, 2106, 1785, 1689, 1550, 1489, 1463, 1433, 1369, 1296, 1253, 1172, 1128, 1001 cm"1; NMR: (CDCI3, 600 MHz) delta = 7.76 (d, 2 H, J = 7.2 Hz), 7.60-7.59 (m, 2 H), 7.41-7.39 (m, 2 H), 7.32-7.30 (m, 2 H), 5.36 (d, 1 H, J = 6), 4.45-4.39 (m, 2 H), 4.24-4.21 (m, 1 H), 3.83-3.81 (m, 1 H), 1.14-1.13 (m, 1 H), 0.65-0.46 (m, 5 H) ppm. 13C NMR: (CDCI3, 150 MHz) delta = 176.6, 156.2, 143.9, 143.8, 141.4, 127.9, 127.2, 125.2, 125.1, 120.1, 67.3, 57.4, 47.3, 13.9, 3.4 ppm; HRMS calcd for C20H19NO4 [ +Na+] 360.1206 found 360.1193. |
