Reaction Steps

N-Methyl-N-((1R)-1-(N-methyl-N-((1R)-2-phenyl-1-((2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)carbamoyl)ethyl)carbamoyl)-2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl)carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1.12 g, 1.97 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (6 ml). The solution was cooled to 0° C. Trifluoroacetic acid (6 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 45 min at 0° C. A saturated solution of aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (30 ml) was added. Solid sodium hydrogen carbonate was added until pH 7. Water (100 ml) was added until a clear solution was obtained. The phases were separated. The aqueous solution was extracted with dichloromethane (2×50 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica (90 g), using dichloromethane/ethanol/25% aqueous ammonia 100:10:1 as eluent, to give 946 mg of (2R)-2-methylamino-N-methyl-3-(2-naphthyl)-N-((1R)-2-phenyl-1-((2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)carbamoyl)ethyl)propionamide.
