Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Commercially available Boc-L-Asp(OBn)-OH (1 g) was mixed with 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (500 mg), the title compound from Step 1 (1 g) and diisopropylethylamine (736 mg) in methylene chloride (20 mL), and the solution was cooled to 0° C. To this was added 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (710 mg) in one portion. After allowing the reaction mixture to stir at 0° C. for 5 hours, the organic solution was washed sequentially with water, 1 N hydrochloric acid, 5% sodium bicarbonate, then dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and evaporated to obtain an oily residue. This residue was taken up in 4 M hydrogen chloride in dioxane solution (50 mL) and allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solvent was then evaporated and the product triturated with ether. The resulting white solid was collected a filter plate to yield the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz): consistent with proposed structure.
