Reaction Steps

A mixture of 360 mg (0.67 mmol) of benzyl (6-tert.-butoxycarbonyl-aminomethyl-3,7-dimethoxy-phenothiazin-4-yl)-acetate, 91.7 mg (0.80 mmol) of glutaric anhydride and 63.7 mg (0.80 mmol) of pyridine in 5 ml of toluene was treated with 10 mg of N,N-dimethylaminopyridine. The mixture was heated to 110° under argon for 48 hours and then poured into ice-water, whereupon the mixture was acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid and exhaustively extracted with methylene chloride. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel with chloroform/methanol (9:1), whereupon 310 mg (71%) of 5-(4-benzyloxycarbonylmethyl-6-tert.-butoxycarbonyl-aminomethyl-3,7-dimethoxy-phenothiazin-10yl)-5-oxo-pentanoic acid were obtained as a white solid of m.p. 65°-68°.
