Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-Amino-3-methylbutyric acid 2-{[6-(4-bromo-2-chlorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-carbonyl]-aminooxy}-ethylester hydrochloric acid salt

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-methylbutyric acid 2-{[6-(4-bromo-2-chlorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-carbonyl]-aminooxy}-ethylester and its N-acylated isomer (0.6 g) were treated with 1.5 mL of trifluoroacetic acid for 0.5 hours. An HPLC trace of the reaction mixture showed the reaction was complete. The mixture was concentrated on a rotary evaporator and pumped on high vacuum to give yellow oil (0.9 g). The deprotected samples were submitted for HPLC purification to give purified product as a trifluoroacetic acid salt.
