Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.14 g. (5.0 mmole) beta-benzyl-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-aspartyl-D-alanine in 35 ml. tetrahydrofuran cooled to -15° was added 0.55 ml. (5.0 mmole) N-methylmorpholine and 0.48 ml. (5.0 mmole) ethyl chloroformate. The mixture was stirred at -15° to -10° C. for two minutes and 0.66 g. (5.0 mmole) 3-amino-2-hydroxy-2,4-dimethylpentane was added. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature, stirred overnight and worked-up as described in Example 5, Part B, to obtain the diprotected dipeptide amide, Rf 0.27 (TLC, ethyl acetate/hexane, 1:1, phosphomolybdic acid spray, heat) which was used directly in the next step.
