Reaction Steps

Following the method of Witiak et al. (J. Med. Chem., 1971, 14(1), 24-30), N-acetyl-D-aspartic acid anhydride (2.19 g, 13.9 mmol) and para-fluorobenzylamine (1.74 g, 13.9 mmol) in acetone (12 mL) were heated together in a sealed tube at 100° C. for 1 h. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure. Acetic anhydride (15 mL) was added to the residue and the mixture heated 50 min. at 100° C. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue purified by flash column chromatography (silica, 10% methanol in dichloromethane) to give the product as a foam (3.16 g, 85%). HPLC retention time 1.94 min.
