Reaction Steps

CBz-L-valine (4.35 g, 17.3 mmol) was added to a fivefold excess of glycerol (8 ml, 86.9 mmol) togehter with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (4.29 g 20.8 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.212 g) at room temperature. After stirring overnight the suspension was filtered and DMF removed in vacuo from the filtrate. The residue was redissolved in CH2Cl2, washed successively with saturated NaHCO3, brine, and water and then dried. The crude material was chromatographed on silica gel with 4/1 EtOAc—hexane as eluent to yield 2.465 g. Rf (4/1 EtOAc—hexane) 0.17, (20/1 CH2Cl2-methanol) 0.12.
