Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6.7 g of carbonyldiimidazole is added to a solution of 10 g of Boc-D-Phe-OH in 80 ml of dichloromethane, cooled to 0° C. The resulting solution is maintained under stirring at 0° C. for 1 hour. A solution consisting of 8.0 g of (11) in 20 ml of dichloromethane is then dripped into the reaction mixture at a rate such that the temperature does not exceed 5° C. The solution is maintained under stirring at 0° C. for 1 hour, and at ambient temperature for 2 hours. 100 ml of 1M NaOH is added to the mixture, the two phases are separated, the organic phase is washed with water (2×), and after a low-pressure solvent change with ethyl acetate, compound (12) is crystallised from ethyl acetate to obtain 14.64 g of white solid. Yield 85%.
