Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Boc-Glu(OtBu)-OH (15 g) in dichloromethane (150 ml) was added N,O-dimethyl-hydroxylamine hydrochloride (5.3 g) and [2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate] (15.87 g) and the pH was adjusted to pH 8-8.5 by adding triethylamine. The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h at room temperature. The mixture was washed successively with cold 0.3M hydrochloric acid solution, water, 5% aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and water. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica (eluent: dichloromethane/methanol=98/2 v/v %) to yield Boc-Glu(OtBu)-NMeOMe (17.5 g).
