Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled mixture of N-(1-naphthylsulfonyl)-(L)-isoleucyl-(L)-tryptophan methyl ester (6.9 g) and THF (40 ml)-methanol (20 ml) was added dropwise a solution of KOH (1.5 g) in water (10 ml). After stirring at 0° C. for 20 hours, the reaction mixture was acidified with 1N HCl (35 ml) with ice-cooling, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). The organic solvent was evaporated off to yield N-(1-naphthylsulfonyl)-(L)-isoleucyl-(L)-tryptophan (6.6 g, 98%) as crystals. Melting point: 167°-168° C.
