Participants

Reaction Steps

To the solution of (S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyric acid (0.33 g, 1.5 mmol), 4-iodo-benzene-1,2-diamine (0.35 g, 1.5 mmol) and diisopropylethyl amine (0.8 mL, 4.5 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (6 mL) was added dropwise a solution of O-benzotriazol-1-yl-N,N, N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexaflurorophosphate (0.71 g, 1.75 mmol) N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 hours at room temperature. After adding aqueous sodium carbonate solution, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with aqueous sodium carbonate solution and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give a mixture of regioisomers, [(S)-1-(2-amino-4-iodo-phenylcarbamoyl)-2-methyl-propyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester and [(S)-1-(2-amino-5-iodo-phenylcarbamoyl)-2-methyl-propyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (0.65 g, 100%).
