Z-Tyr(3-tBu)-NH2 → Tyr(3-tBu)-NH2

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9.89 g (26.7 mmol) of Z-Tyr(3-tBu)-NH2 in 350 ml of methanol, 3.5 g of 10% palladium carbon was added and the mixture was stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 10 hours. After filtering, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent; methylene chloride:methanol=20:1) to yield Tyr(3-tBu)-NH2 in the amount of 5.11 g (81%).
