Reaction Steps

[4-(bis-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-histidyl)-2-phenylbenzoyl methionine methyl ester (0.992 g, 1.42 mmol), prepared as in Example 184A, was dissolved in 4 M HCl/dioxane (15 mL), upon which gas evolution was observed. The clear amber solution was stirred for 6 hours, during which time a white precipitate formed. The mixture was treated with ethyl ether and the precipitate was isolated by filtration to provide 0.779 g (100%) of [4-(L-histidyl)-2-phenylbenzoyl methionine methyl ester (believed to be the mono-hydrochloride salt); 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ 1.72-1.87 (m, 1H), 1.95-2.03 (comp, 4H), 2.08-2.28 (comp, 2H), 3.38-3.60 (comp, 2H), 3.67 (s, 3H), 4.45-4.57 (comp, 2H), 7.30-7.46 (comp, 6H), 7.53 (d, 1H), 7.69 (d, 1H), 7.77 (app s, 1H), 8.90 (s, 1H). LRMS (CI): 496 (M+1)+.
