Ammonium hydroxide (29% aqueous solution, 135 μL) was added and the mixture was stirred for an additional 22 h. The mixture was then extracted with EtOAc. The extract was washed with 1N HCl, sat. NaHCO3 and brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified through a silica gel column using toluene/EtOAc (1:1) as an eluent to give N-(2,6-dichlorobenzoyl)-4-(2-carbamoylphenyl)-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (48.1 mg. ESMS: m/z 471 (MH+).
