Acetic Acid → HCID 68413846, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-oxo-2-phenylethyl (1R,2S)-2-({N5-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]-N2-[(1,4,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]-L-ornithyl}amino)cyclopentanecarboxylate (0.30 g) and DMF (3.0 ml) were added zinc (0.61 g) and acetic acid (3.0 ml) under ice-cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for 6 hours. To the reaction mixture was added ethyl acetate and the insolubles were separated by filtration through Celite. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and a 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added to the residue, followed by washing with diethyl ether. Citric acid was added thereto under ice-cooling, and the solid precipitated was collected by filtration and washed with water to obtain (1R,2S)-2-({N5-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]-N2-[(1,4,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]-L-ornithyl}amino)cyclopentanecarboxylic acid (0.19 g).
