Participants

Reaction Steps

At 0° C., N-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-N-methyl-3-[4-(5-isoxazolyl)-phenyl]-alanine (445 mg) is stirred in N,N-dimethylformamide (24 ml) together with (L)-tryptophane methyl ester hydrochloride (400 mg), hydroxybenztriazol (330 mg), and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (0.32 ml) for 1 hour and at ambient temperature over night. After extraction with ethyl acetate and 10% aqueous citric acid the organic phase is washed with 4% aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and with brine, dried and evaporated. Flash chromatography on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate 2:1) gives the product as a mixture of diastereoisomer. Separation by medium pressure chromatography on a silica gel column, using ether/dichloromethane (1:1) as solvent gives both [N-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-N-methyl-3-[4-(5-isoxazolyl)-phenyl]-(D)-alanyl]-(L)-tryptophane methyl ester, and [N-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-N-methyl-3-[4-(5-isoxazolyl)-phenyl]-(L)-alanyl]-(L)-tryptophane methyl ester.
