Reaction Steps

4-Fluoro-N2-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzene-1,2-diamine (0.7 g, 2.99 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (10 mL), under an atmosphere of nitrogen and (S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylaminopropionic acid (0.63 g, 3.29 mmol) and HOAt (0.45 g, 3.29 mmol) added. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. before N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′ ethylcarbodiimide (0.63 g, 3.29 mmol) was added portion wise. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, before being allowed to reach RT. It was then diluted with DCM (40 mL) and washed with 10% citric acid and brine (20 mL). The organic fraction was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in acetic acid (10 mL) and heated at 70° C. overnight. The resultant mixture was allowed to cool to RT and concentrated in vacuo to afford a dark brown gum. This was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, gradient 0-5% MeOH in DCM) to afford boc protected title compound as a red gum, which solidified on standing (0.78 g, 68%). This was dissolved in DCM (10 mL) and TFA (3 mL) added. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 1 h. The resultant mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue dissolved in DCM (40 mL) and stirred vigorously with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 for 10 minutes. The layers were separated and the organic fraction washed with brine (20 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a red gum (0.4 g, 70%). LCMS (Method B): RT 1.90 min [M+H]+ 286.0
