Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.025 g of tert-butyl {3(S)-[4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)benzyl]-4-methyl-1(S)-(R)-oxiranylpentyl}carbamate (Example 1b) in 0.50 ml of isopropanol is admixed successively with 0.027 g of 4-aminobutyric acid and 0.13 ml of 1M NaOH and stirred at 60° C. over 3 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to 0° C. and admixed with 0.13 ml of 1M HCl and concentrated by evaporation to dryness. The residue is dissolved in 2.5 ml of dichloromethane, admixed successively with 0.016 g of N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 0.012 mg of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, and stirred at room temperature over 18 hours. The reaction solution is admixed with 1M sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic phases are washed with brine, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated by evaporation. The title compound is obtained from the residue by means of flash chromatography (SiO2 60F) as a colourless oil. Rf=0.32 (200:20:1 dichloromethane-methanol-25% conc. ammonia); Rt=4.51 (gradient I).
