Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-3-[4-(5-isoxazolyl)-phenyl]-alanine ethyl ester (3,8 g) and methyliodide (1.8 ml) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (40 ml) is cooled in an ice bath and sodium hydride (60% in oil, 390 mg) is added in portions. The mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature during 5 hours, then poured into water, extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic phase washed with water, and with brine, dried and evaporated. Flash chromatography of the residue on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate 3:1) gives pure N-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-N-methyl-3-[4-(5-isoxazolyl)-phenyl]-alanine ethyl ester.
