Participants

Reaction Steps

Anhydrous sodium sulfate (3 g) is added to a solution of (2R)-2-[(2S)-3-mercapto-2-methylpropionylamino]-3-(4-methylbenzylthio)propionic acid (compound No. 1-1, 300 mg) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (240 mg) in methanol (10 ml), and the mixture is refluxed for three hours and 30 minutes. Sodium sulfate is filtered out, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure. A 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution is added to the obtained residue, and the whole is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with a 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, a 5% aqueous citric acid solution and a saturated sodium chloride solution successively, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the titled compound. The following compound is obtained by a method similar to Example 5.
