Participants

Reaction Steps

Racemic (3R*,4R*)-3-({isopropyl-[4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxy-propoxy)-benzoyl]-amino}-methyl)-4-[(methyl-phenylacetyl-amino)-methyl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester is separated into the single enantiomers by preparative chiral HPLC on a Chiralpak AD-H column (4.6×250 mm, 5 μM particle size; flow rate 1 mL/min, UV=210 nM, injection=1.7 g in 5 mL ethanol and using ethanol as the eluent to give the enantiomerically pure title compound: tR (HPLC, Chiralpak AD-H, HPLC 250×4.6 mm, ethanol, flow: 0.5 ml/min): 26.46 min; and (3S,4S)-3-({isopropyl-[4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxy-propoxy)-benzoyl]-amino}-methyl)-4-[(methyl-phenylacetyl-amino)-methyl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester: tR (HPLC, Chiralpak AD-H, HPLC 250×4.6 mm, ethanol, flow: 0.5 ml/min): 13.53 min.
