✦ Synopsis
Methyl ethers (6a and 6b) of N-trifluoroacetyl-and N-(m-trifluoromethyl) phenylsulfonyl-6-nitro-tyrosine t-butyl ester were readily prepared by modified Mitsunobu reaction (DPPE, DIAD, MeOH). Williamson (MeI, K 2 CO 3 or Li 2 CO 3 or NaOH under phase transfer) and classical Mitsunobu conditions (PPh 3 , DEAD, MeOH) gave O,N-dimethylated derivatives (7a and 7b) as side or main products. O-versus N-selectivity in tyrosine methylation reactions depends on both pK a values and steric factors.
