N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)glycine → L-Lysine

Participants

Reaction Steps

While maintaining the nitrogen gas atmosphere, three fold molar excess of resin capacity of benzyl-Boc-L-lysine [Lys (Z), Peninsula, supra.] dissolved in methylene chloride is added to the residue of step (B) above. The resulting mixture is shaken and after about 10 minutes, 3 fold molar excess of N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide dissolved in 10-15 ml. of methylene chloride is added with stirring. The resulting mixture is shaken at room temperature for 4.5 to 5 hours. At the end of this period, the reaction mixture is filtered and the residue washed with methylene chloride, ethanol and dried.
