Ethyl alpha-oxobenzenebutanoate → HCID 22827210, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.85 grams of 1-(L-alanyl)-4-(R)-phenyl-L-proline [prepared by employing cis-4-phenyl-L-proline in the procedure of Example 2(a) to (d)], 0.2 grams of ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate and 1.5 grams of molecular sieves in 10 ml. of ethanol is hydrogenated under 40 psi with 1 gram of 10% palladium on carbon as the catalyst. The mixture is filtered when the uptake of hydrogen has ceased, and the filtrate is concentrated. The crude product is absorbed on an ion exchange resin (Dowex 50, H+) and eluted with 2% pyridine in water to yield the desired 1-[N-(1-(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl)-L-alanyl]-4-(R)-phenyl-L-proline.
