L-Phenylalanine, N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]- → benzyl 3-(N-tertiarybutoxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl)oxy-15-methylhexadecanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl 3-hydroxy-15-methylhexadecanoate (1.77 g) and N-tertiarybutoxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanine (1.25 g) in dichloromethane (50 ml) was added benzotriazol-1-yloxy-tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (2.08 g) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (1.22 g). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 14 hours and evaporated. The residue was poured into a mixture of ethyl acetate and diluted hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give almost pure benzyl 3-(N-tertiary butoxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl)oxy-15-methylhexadecanoate, which can be used for next step without further purification (2.87 g).
