Application

3-Bromocyclohexene was used in the synthesis of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-O-cyclohexyl-L-tyrosine. It was also used in the synthesis of enantiopure cyclohexitols such as muco-quercitol, D-chiro-inocitol and allo-inocitol.

A facile and efficient synthesis of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-O-cyclohexyl-L-tyrosine [Boc-Tyr(Chx)-OH] is described. Boc-Tyr-OH was treated with NaH in dimethylformamide and then with 3-bromocyclohexene to give N-Boc-O-(cyclohex-2-enyl)-L-tyrosine [Boc-Tyr(Che)-OH] in 70% yield. Hydrogenation of Boc-Tyr(Che)-OH over PtO2 afforded Boc-Tyr(Chx)-OH in almost quantitative yield. The
