(S)-1-tert-Butyl 5-methyl 2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)pentanedioate → HCID 11165987, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.3 g of N-tert.-butyloxycarbonyl-L-glutamic acid 5-methyl ester 1-tert.-butyl ester (1.2., 4.12 mmol) are dissolved in 15 ml of acetonitrile and mixed with 100 mg of N,N-dimethyl-4-aminopyridine (DMAP). A solution of 1.79 g of di-tert.-butyl-bicarbonate (8.2 mmol) in 7 ml of acetonitrile is added under nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring overnight, the solvent is removed under vacuum and the crude product obtained is purified by means of chromatography on silica gel.
