Reaction Steps

49.8 g (350.86 mmol) of iodomethane and 2.28 g (57.01 mmol) of sodium hydride are added to a solution of 16.5 g (43.86 mmol) of methyl 3-bromo-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-6-fluoro-L-phenylalaninate (Example 5O) in 220 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture is stirred at RT overnight. 1000 ml of water and 1000 ml of ethyl acetate are added to the mixture. The organic phase is washed successively with water and a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase: cyclohexane:ethyl acetate 3:1).
