1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → N-(2,6-dichlorobenzoyl)-4-[2-[N-(methanesulfonyl)carbamoyl]phenyl]-L-phenylalanine methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(2,6-Dichlorobenzoyl)-4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (57.0 mg) was dissolved in anhydrous THF (1 mL), carbonyldiimidazole (23.5 mg) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature under N2 for 2 h. Methanesulfonamide (17.2 mg) and DBU (27 μL) were added and the mixture was stirred for an additional 18 h. The mixture was then heated to 40° C., stirred for 7 h at the same temperature, cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc, washed with 1N HCl and then brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by preparative TLC (silica gel) using CH2Cl2/MeOH (100:1 to 10:1) as an eluent to give N-(2,6-dichlorobenzoyl)-4-[2-[N-(methanesulfonyl)carbamoyl]phenyl]-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (37.0 mg). ESMS: m/z 549 (MH+).
