Reaction Steps

3-Amino-1-methyl-5-phenyl-1,3-dihydro-azepin-2-one (330 g, 1.54 mol) is combined with dichloromethane (3 L), N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-alanine (291.4 g, 1.54 mol), and hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (259.5 g, 1.617 mol). The solution is cooled to about 10° C. To this solution is added diisopropylethylamine (335.4 mL, 1.925 mol) followed by 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (310.1 g, 1.617 mol) and the contents are allowed to gradually warm to room temperature. After 3.5 hours, the reaction contents are poured into water (1000 mL) and the layers are allowed to separate. The organic layer is further washed with water (1000 mL), 0.1 N HCl (1000 mL), saturated NaHCO3 solution (1000 mL) and finally saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. The dichloromethane layer is dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated via rotary evaporation to provide the title compound (about 574 g, 97%) as a tan foam. The material is of sufficient purity to use directly in the next step.
