Reaction Steps

3-Nitro-4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-benzoic acid (530 mg, 81%) was prepared from 4-fluoro-3-nitro-benzoic acid (370 mg, 2.0 mmol) and 3-trifluoromethyl phenol (324 mg, 2.0 mmol) as in general procedure B. To Wang resin (60 mg, 0.06 mmol, 1.1 mmol/g) loaded with 4-L-biphenylalanine were added 82 mg of (0.25 mmol) 3-nitro-4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-benzoic acid (82 mg, 0.25 mmol), 1.0 M DIC (1.5 mL, 1.5 mmol) in DMF, 1.0 M HOBt (1.5 mL, 1.5 mmol) in DMF, and a catalytic amount of DMAP. The resulting mixture was left on shaker overnight. The resin was washed with DMF, MeOH, DCM three times of each and cleaved with 20% TFA in DCM. The residue obtained after removing the solvent was purified by chromatography to give the title compound (26 mg, 79%).
