Valeryl chloride → Benzyl(S)-2-((2'-cyanobiphenyl-4-ylmethyl)pentanoylamino)-3-methylbutyrate

Participants

Reaction Steps

6.2 g (15.5 mmol) of N-[(2'-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-(L)-valine benzyl ester and 8.0 ml of Huinig base, dissolved in 50 ml of methylene chloride, are treated with 2.3 ml of valeryl chloride with stirring and further processed analogously to Example 29b. The title compound is thus obtained as a yellow oil which is further used in crude form (Rf 0.51, toluene-methanol 19:1)
