Reaction Steps

Synthesis of the peptide segment is started by making the trichloroethanol ester of Boc-Asp(OBzl)-OH (Shioiri et al., 1989). This is achieved by stirring 1 g (3 mmol) of Boc-Asp(OBzl)-OH (Sigma), 0.4 ml of (3 mmol) 2,2,2-trichloroethanol (Aldrich), 100 mg of DMAP (dimethylaminopyridine; Aldrich), and 576 mg (3 mmol) of EDC (Aldrich) in 50 ml of DCM for 3 h at 0° C. and for 20 h at room temperature. The precipitate is filtered out and the filtrate is diluted with 100 ml of ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate solution is extracted with 10% aqueous citric acid, water, saturated NaHCO3, water and saturated brine. Then, the ethyl acetate layer is dried over anhydrous Na2 SO4, decanted, and concentrated to give an oil. The crude oily product is purified by washing with petroleum ether to give Boc-Asp(OBzl)-OTce (9). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 1.45 (9H, s), 2.93 and 3.15 (2H, dd, J=17 Hz and 4.5 Hz), 4.67 and 4.75 (2H, dd, J=12.3 Hz), 4.7-4.75 (1H, m), 5.13 (2H, s), 5.56 (1H, d, J=9 Hz), 7.34 -7.38 (5H, m).
