Pyridine → L-Tryptophanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the active ester VIII (0.035 g, 0.06 mmol), L-tryptophan methyl ester hydrochloride (0.049 g, 0.19 mmol) and pyridine (0.015 g, 0.19 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 ml) was stirred overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate elution) to yield the trytophan amide as a dark red crystalline solid.
