Reaction Steps

Boc-D-Pal (1.36 g, 6.0 mmol) was suspended in 60 ml of acetonitrile. Benzyl bromide (about 50 mmol) was added and the mixture was warmed to 50° C. on a water bath. A cleasr solution resulted, and was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. A white precipitate formed; TLC after 17 hours showed some starting remaining starting material; stirring continued for a total of 5 days, when the reaction was complete. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue recrystallized from EtOH/ethyl acetate. Yield: 85%; m.p. 166–170° C.
