Sodium Hydroxide → Boc-Trp(Mtr)-OH

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same manner as Example 5, Boc-Trp-OBzl (1.97 g, 5 mM) was reacted with 4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylbenzene-sulfonyl chloride (1.87 g, 7.5 mM) in dichloromethane in the presence of sodium hydroxide (500 mg, 12.5 mM) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (16 mg, 0.05 mM). The reaction product was then hydrolyzed with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to give Boc-Trp(Mtr)-OH. Yield 2.05 g (79.4%); m.p. 78°-80° C.; [α]D22 -24.8° (c=0.5, DMF).
