Cbz-Trp-NHBn → (S)-2-Amino-N-benzyl-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.20 g (5.15 mmol) Cbz-Trp-NHBn in 60 mL of MeOH was subjected to hydrogenolysis over Pd/C to give 1.43 g (4.88 mmol, 95%) of Trp-NHBn. Characteristic analytical data are as follows: mp 112°-114° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ8.40-7.00 (m, 11H, Ar), 4.44 (d, J=6 Hz, 2H, CH2 --N), 3.77 (dd, J=4 Hz, 9H, H-α), 3.42 (dd, J=4, 14 Hz, 1H, H-β), 2.98 (dd, J=9, 14 Hz, 1H, H-β); mass spectrum (EI), m/e 293 (M+), 277 (M+ -NH2), 130 (M+ --H2N--CH--CONH--Bn); [α]25D +42.1° (c=1.02, MeOH).
