Participants

Reaction Steps

The starting material was synthesised as follows. To a solution of hippuric acid (0.90 g, 5×10-3 moles) and L-aspartic acid dibenyzl ester (2.31 g, 5×10-3 moles) in DMF (35 ml) was added 1-hyhdroxybenzotriazole (0.73 g, 5.5×10-3 moles), triethylamine (1.4 ml, 9.7×10-3 moles) and 1-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide, HCl salt (1.05 g, 5.5×10-3 moles). The mixture was stirred for 4 hours at room temperature then poured into water (450 ml) and extracted twice with ethyl acetate (100 ml). The extract was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, water, 2N HCl and water. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to dryness to obtain the desired starting material as a yellow oil. 1.90 g (80%)
