Participants

Reaction Steps

3-[(2-Mercaptomethyl-3-phenylpropionyl)amino]-2-methylbenzoic acid (compound of Example 7) (0.66 g) is dissolved in a mixture of saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and tetrahydrofuran (1 ml), and to the mixture is added a solution of isobutyl chloroformate (0.33 g) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) with stirring under ice cooling, and the mixture is stirred under ice cooling for 30 minutes and further at room temperature for one hour. The reaction mixture is acidified with 4N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract is washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by a medium pressure column chromatography with CHP-20P (eluant, water-acetonitrile). The fractions containing the desired compound are collected and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the precipitates are separated by filtration to give the title compound (0.31 g). m.p.: 165°-167° C. (amorphous) IR (KBr; cm-1): 1700, 1650
