Procedure

L-Proline tert-butyl ester (5.1 g.) is dissolved in dichloromethane (40 ml.) and the solution stirred and chilled in an ice bath. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (6.2 g.) dissolved in dichloromethane (15 ml.) is added followed immediately by a solution of 3-acetylthio-2-methylpropanoic acid (4.9 g.) in dichloromethane (5ml.). After 15 minutes stirring in the ice bath and 16 hours at room temperature, the precipitate is filtered off and the filtrate is concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed neutral. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The residue, 1-(3-acetylthio-2-methylpropanoyl)-L-proline tert-butyl ester, is purified by column chromatography (silica gel-chloroform), yield 7.9 g.
