Dichloromethane → Phenylalanine, N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-4-nitro-, t-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of the compound (6.9 g) obtained in Example 63 and methylene chloride (70 ml) were added t-butanol (20 ml), N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (2.63 g) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (4.9 g) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 days. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed successively with 2 N HCl and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution; the organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent, n-hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to give 7.64 g of the titled compound (yield, 97%).
