Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of L-phenylalanine ethyl ester hydrochloride salt (998 mg., 4.3 mmol) in dimethylformamide (10 mL.) was added with 4-methylmorpholine (575 μl, 529 mg., 5.2 mmol.). After stirring at room temperature for 5 minutes, the solution was cooled to 0° C. and treated successively with (S)-2-phthalimido-6-hydroxyhexanoic acid (1.002 g., 3.6 mmol.), hydroxybenzotriazole (582 mg., 4.3 mmol.) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (770 mg., 4.0 mmol.). The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 hour and at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The solution was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water and the organic extract was washed successively with 0.5N hydrochloric acid, water, 50% saturated sodium bicarbonate, and brine, then dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and stripped to give 1.63 g. of essentially pure title product as an oil/foam. TLC (1:1--acetone:hexanes) Rf =0.30.
