Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The compound (51.5 g) obtained in step B, ethyl bromoacetate (160 ml, 1.44 mol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (250 ml, 1.47 mol) were mixed, and the mixture was stirred with heating at 140° C. for 10 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with 20% aqueous citric acid solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The insoluble material was filtered off, and the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained oil was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate-hexane) to give a mixture of the title compound and N-(4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2-methyl)phenylglycine ethyl ester. To this mixture were added ethyl bromoacetate (80 ml, 719 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (125 ml, 735 mmol), and the mixture was stirred again with heating at 140° C. for 11 hr, which was followed by the purification similar to the above to give the title compound (95.3 g) as a yellow oil.
