Dichloromethane → L-phenylalanine, N-[1-(2-(biphenyl-4-yl)-2-oxoethyl)-L-prolyl] benzylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-[2-(biphenyl-4-yl)-2-oxoethyl] L-proline (51 mg, 0.16 mmol, 1.0 eq), N-ethylmorpholine (125 uL, 0.98 mmol, 6 eq) in acetonitrile (0.5 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and treated with a 50% solution of 1-n-propylphosphonic acid cyclic anhydride in dichloromethane (170 uL, 0.27 mmol, 1.6 eq) followed by phenylalanine benzylamide (49 mg, 0.19 mmol, 3.1 eq). Purification by HPLC provided 12 mg (14%) of L-phenylalanine, N-[1-(2-(biphenyl-4-yl)-2-oxoethyl)-L-prolyl] benzylamide.
