Reaction Steps

EDCI (59.39 g, 310.8 mmol) was added at 0° C. to a stirred solution of 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)propanoic acid (I-59a: 49 g, 258.9 mmol), meldrum's acid (41.05 g, 284.8 mmol) and DMAP (47.4 g, 388.5 mmol) in DCM (490 mL) and the resulting reaction mass was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The reaction was monitored by TLC (10% methanol in CHCl3). The reaction mass was washed with 5% KHSO4 solution and separated the layers. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to afford 70 g of the product (85.8% yield).
