Reaction Steps

Nα-tert-Butyloxycarbonyl-lysine was reacted with trimethylsilyldiazomethan in ethanol. The resulting methyl ester amine was transformed to the Nε-methyl derivative via benzaldehyde and sodium borohydride, formaldehyde and sodium boronhydride and hydrogenolysis (Andruszkiewicz, J. Pol. Chem. 1988, 62, 257) followed by N-alkylation with 2-(pinacolborono)benzyl bromide. The resulting Nα-tert-butyloxycarbonyl, Nε-methyl, Nε-(2-pinacolboronobenzyl) methyl lysinate was treated with methanol and trimethylsilyl chloride, 10:1, to give Nε-methyl, Nε-(2-boronobenzyl), methyl lysinate, dihydrochloride:
