Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl N-{[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethyl)oxy]carbonyl}-D-norleucylglycinate from step (a) above (2 g, 4.7 mmol) in a 7:3 mixture of dichloromethane/piperidine (30 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 0.75 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (200 mL) and solid which precipitated was filtered, washed with cold DCM (2×50 mL) and dried in vacuo to give the title compound as a white solid. MS (ESI, positive ion) m/z: 171 (M+1).
