2-((2R)-2-(N-((2R)-2-(N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-N-methylamino)-3-(2-naphthyl) propionyl)-N-methylamino)-3-phenylpropionylamino)-1,1-dimethylethyl acetate (511 mg, 0.85 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (2 ml) and cooled to 0° C. Trifluoroacetic acid (2 ml) was added, and the solution was stirred for 15 min at 0° C. The solvents were removed in vacuo without warming. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (50 ml), and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The latter procedure was repeated two times. The crude product was purified by flash chromatogrpahy on silica (30 g), using dichloromethane/methanol/25% aqueous ammonia (100:10:1) as eluent, to give 160 mg of 1,1-dimethyl-2-((2R)-2-(N-methyl-N-((2R)-2-methylamino-3-(2-naphthyl)propionyl)amino)-3-phenyl propionylamino)ethyl acetate.
