Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-L-valine (2.02 g, 8.0 mmol), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (100 mg, 0.8 mmol), and), and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (2.04 g, 9.9 mmol, in 20 mL CH2Cl2) were added to 2-methyl-1,2-propanediol (12.2 mmol) in 30 mL dry CH2Cl2, with cooling in an ice bath. DMF (5 mL) was added. After stirring for 5 h at 10° C., the reaction mixture was filtered, concentrated, and then redissolved in ethyl acetate. The organic solution was washed with saturated NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated. Flash column chromatography (silica, 2/1 petroleum ether—ethyl acetate) gave 2.3 g of the title compound.
