Reaction Steps

The free base (0.32 g; 0.2914 mmol) was dissolved in acetone (10 mL) and treated with 0.1M L-tartaric acid in MeOH (2.9 mL; 0.29 mmol). This mixture was concentrated and treated with dry ether to give a tartaric acid salt of the title compound as a white solid; mp 178°-180° C.; IR (KBr) 3440, 3064, 3030, 2934, 2802, 1662, 1610, 1582, 1518, 1486, 1452, 1372 cm-1 ; MS (FAB) MH+ m/z 1099, (M+Na)+ m/z 1121, (M+K)+ m/z 1137; 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.119 (s, 3H), 1.217 (s, 3H), 1.518 (m, 7H), 1.667 (s, 3H), 1.873 (m, H), 1.957 (s, 3H), 2.111 (m, H), 2.215 (s, 3H), 2.316 (m, H), 2.432 (s, 3H), 2.597 (m, H), 2.875 (m, 2H), 3.684 (m, 2H), 3.816 (d, H), 4.196 (d, H), 4.370 (d, H), 4.440 (m, H), 4.975 (d, H), 5.665 (m, 2H), 6.030 (m, H), 6.252 (t, H), 6.284 (S, H), 7.096 (d, NH), 7.200-8.700 (m, 19H) .
