Reaction Steps

N-Acetyl-tyrosinyl-valinyl-(4(R)-allyloxyproline) methyl enter. 4(R)-Allyloxyproline methyl ester hydrochloride (1.05 g, 4.75 mmol) and N-acetyl-Tyr-Val-OH (1.68 g, 5.21 mmol) were dissolved in 10 ml of a 1:1 mixture of dichloromethane and dimethylformamide and cooled to 0° C. Diisopropylethylamine (1 ml, 5.93 mmol) was added to the cooled mixture followed by the addition of N-hydroxybenzotriazole (0.769 g, 5.69 mmol) and 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (1.18 g, 6.2 mmol). After stirring for 2 hours, the mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 16 hours. The reaction was poured into 150 ml of ethyl acetate and washed with 50 ml each of water, 10% sodium hydrogen sulfate, and 10% sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to give a light yellow solid. This was purified by flash chromatography eluting with dichloromethane/methanol/pyridine (100:3:0.5) to give 780 mg of the title compound. 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ7.02-6.96 (2H, d), 6.67-6.63 (2H, d), 5.95-5.85 (1H, m), 5.34-5.27 (1H, d), 5.16-5.13 (1H, d), 4.53-4.38 (3H, m), 4.28-4.22 (1H, m), 4.12-3.97 (3H, m), 3.82-3.73 (1H, m), 3.72 (3H, s), 3.04-2.88 (2H, m), 2.85-2.72 (2H, m), 2.45-2.34 (1H, m), 2.08-1.95 (2H, m), 1.92 (3H, s), 1.00-0.92 (6H, 2×d).
