Procedure

A mixture of N-(2,6-dichlorobenzoyl)-4-[2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (0.15 g), CBr4 (0.22 g) and PPh3 (0.173 g) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel; eluent: CH2Cl2/EtOAc 9:1 to 8:1) to yield 0.12 g of N-(2,6-dichlorobenzoyl)-4-[2-(bromomethyl)phenyl]-L-phenylalanine methyl ester. ESMS: m/z 522 (MH+).
