Ammonia → N-[(Benzyloxy)carbonyl]-L-isoleucyl-L-prolyl-L-prolinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyloxycarbonyl-isoleucyl-prolyl-proline (4.5 g) is dissolved in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) and triethylamine (1.4 ml). The solution is chilled in a -5° cooling bath and isobutyl chloroformate (1.6 ml) is added. The solution is allowed to warm to room temperature (10 minutes) and concentrated aqueous ammonia (10 ml) is added. After four hours stirring at room temperature, the reaction is concentrated in vacuo, diluted with ethyl acetate and washed sequentially with saturated sodium bicarbonate, water, 0.1 N hydrochloric acid and water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to dryness in vacuo to give the title compound.
