Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

DMAP (257 mg, 2.08 mmol) and EDAC (427 mg, 2.23 mmol) were added as solids to a solution of 5-fluoro-1-methylindole-2-carboxylic acid (359 mg, 86 mmol in 3 mL of DMF), and the resultant reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere at 0° C. N-(Valinyl)-3-amino-4-hydroxy-5-fluoropentanoic acid, t-butyl ester (579 mg, 1.86 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was added and the resulting solution was stirred for 1 hour under a nitrogen atmosphere at 0° C. and 4 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 5% KHSO4 solution and the aqueous solution was back-extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate solutions were washed with 5% KHSO4 solution, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (2×) and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to give the title product as a slightly yellow solid (0.827 mg). TLC: (methanol/methylene chloride, 1:9): Rf=0.52.
