Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → (S)-phenylmethyl-[1-methyl-2-oxo-2-(1H-pyrrol-1-ylamino)ethyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of carbobenzyloxy-L-alanine (10.0 g) and N-aminopyrrole (3.68 g) in dry DCM (224 ml) was added DCC (9.71 g) at 0° C. under nitrogen. The cooling bath was removed after ten minutes and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 17 hours. The mixture was filtered and the solid DCU filter cake was washed with hot ethyl acetate. Concentration of the combined filtrate gave the crude product. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane afforded 10.46 g of the product as a solid, m.p. 169°-171° C.
