Reaction Steps

0.38 g of L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride (1.8 mmol), 0.37 g of N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine (1.7 mmol) and 1.6 ml of N-methylmorpholine (14.6 mmol) are dissolved in 30 ml of dimethylacetamide and cooled to 0° C. 1.2 ml of CPA from example 2 (50% in dimethylformamide, 1.9 mmol) are then added. The mixture is stirred at 0° for another 1 h and at room temperature for 12 h. The solution is concentrated by evaporation and extracted with ethyl acetate and 1N HCl solution, sat. NaHCO3, sat. NaCl and dist. water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered off and concentrated by evaporation. 0.53 g of the white N-acetyl-L-phenylalaninyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester is obtained (84%).
