Ethyl Acetate → 3(R)-t-Butoxycarbonylamino-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-[[2'-[[(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]methyl][1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl]methyl]-1H-benzazepin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 64 mg (0.14 mmol) of 3(R)-t-butoxycarbonylamino-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-[[2'-aminomethyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl]methyl]-1H-benzazepin-2-one (Example 59, Step C) in 1 mL of methylene chloride at room temperature was treated with 1 drop of triethylamine followed by 36 mg (0.14 mmol, 1 eq.) of N-(benzyloxycarbonyloxy)succinimide and 5 mg of N-hydroxybenzotriazole. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour then added to 10 mL of ethyl acetate and washed with 5% aqueous citric acid, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The organic layer was removed, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and solvents removed under vacuum. The residue was purified by medium pressure liquid chromatography on silica, eluting with ethyl acetate/hexanes (2:1), to give 68 mg (0.11 mmol, 83%) of the product as a white, crusty foam. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.38 (s, 9H), 1.89 (m, 1H), 2.40-2.60 (m, 3H), 4.27 (m, 3H), 4.75 (br t, 1H), 4.92 (d, 15 Hz, 1H), 5.05 (s, 2H), 5.18 (d, 15 Hz, 1H), 5.44 (br d, 7 Hz, 1H), 7.10-7.35 (m, 11H), 7.40 (d, 8 Hz, 1H). FAB-MS: calculated for C37H39N3O5 605; found 606 (M+H, 2%), 506 (M-BOC, 100%).
