Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of Boc-Gly-OH (20 g, 114.1 mmol), DIPEA (19.8 mL, 114.1 mmol) and BOP (50.5 g, 114.1 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was added a pre-mixed solution of N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (11.2 g, 114.1 mmol) and DIPEA (19.8 mL, 114.1 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred for 16 h then washed with 1N HCl (3×120 mL), H2O (3×120 mL), saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution (3×120 mL) and brine (40 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 27 as a white solid (20 g, 80%), which was used in the next step without further purification.
