Reaction Steps

A suspension of (9S,13S)-15-benzyl 13,9-di-tert-butyl 3,11-dioxo-1-phenyl-2-oxa-4,10,12-triazapentadecane-9,13,15-tricarboxylate (4.30 g, 6.64 mmol), 10% Pd/C (1.0 g) and ammonium formate (4.0 g) in EtOH (70 mL) under a empty balloon was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite and washed with EtOAc. The solvent was evaporated to give (S)-4-(3-((S)-6-amino-1-tert-butoxy-1-oxohexan-2-yl)ureido)-5-tert-butoxy-5-oxopentanoic acid (4.07 g, 70%) which was used without further purification. ESMS m/z: 432.3 (M/2+H)+.
