Trifluoroacetic acid → (S)-1-[(S)-3-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-2-(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy carbonylamino)-propionyl]-hexahydro-pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid 2,2,2-trichloro-ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To (S)-tetrahydro-pyridazine-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid 1,2-di-tert-butyl ester 3-(2,2,2-trichloro-ethyl)ester (2.0 g, 4.3 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (13 mL) at 0° C. and under an atmosphere of nitrogen was added trifluoroacetic acid (13 mL, 173 mmol). The solution was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 16 h. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo and the residue co-evaporated from toluene (3×). The resulting brown, viscous oil was dissolved in anhydrous acetonitrile (5 mL) and added to a solution of Fmoc-L-aspartic acid 4-tert-butyl ester (1.78 g, 4.3 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (3.0 mL, 17.3 mmol) and 2-(1H-7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl uronium hexafluorophosphate methanaminium (1.60 g, 4.3 mmol) in anhydrous acetonitrile (25 mL) that had been previously stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes. The reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 16 h before being concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using iso-hexanes/ethyl acetate 2:1 to give the title compound (2.5 g, 88%) as a clear, viscous oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.46 (s, 9H), 1.69-1.83 (m, 2H), 1.87-2.00 (m, 1H), 2.15-2.27 (m, 1H), 2.79-2.67 (m, 2H), 2.90-3.02 (m, 1H), 3.81-3.93 (m, 2H), 4.21-4.29 (m, 1H), 4.32-4.44 3H), 4.71 (d, J=12.0 Hz, 1H), 4.96 (d, J=12.0 Hz, 1H), 5.31-5.43 (m, 1H), 5.85 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (app t, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 7.41 (app t, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 7.59-7.66 (m, 2H), 7.78 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 2H).
