Participants

Reaction Steps

(S)-3-((((9H-Fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-4-(tert-butoxy)-4-oxobutanoic acid (Compound SP444) (10.0 g, 23.5 mmol) was dissolved in dimethylformamide (70 ml), ((benzotriazol-1-yloxy)-tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) (12.5 g, 28.3 mmol) and dimethylamine (58 mmol) were added as a 2 mol/1 solution in tetrahydrofuran, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Water was added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with dichloromethane. The organic extract was dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford tert-butyl (S)-2-((((9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-5-(dimethylamino)-5-oxopentanoate (Compound SP447) (15.2 g) as a crude product.
