Reaction Steps

To a solution of 10 g (0.017 mol) of 1-[4-amino-3,5-dibromo-N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-D-phenylalanyl]-4-(1-piperidinyl)-piperidine in 350 ml of dioxane were added 3.1 g (0.082 mol) of sodium borohydride and the reaction mixture was cooled to 5° C. Then a solution of 4.92 g (0.082 mol) of acetic acid in 100 ml of dioxane was added dropwise with stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred for a further hour at room temperature and for 3 hours at 85° C. Then ice water was added, the organic solvent was removed in vacuo and the aqueous residue was repeatedly extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic phases were dried, evaporated down in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography (MN-silica gel 60, Macherey-Nagel, 70-230 mesh ASTM, eluant: methylene chloride/methanol/cyclohexane/conc. aqueous ammonia=3600/150/150/20 (v/v/v/v). 4.1 g (42% of theory) of a colourless foam were obtained.
