Reaction Steps

The above crude 6-hydroxy-L-norleucine, methyl ester, hydrochloride was dissolved in dimethylformamide (6 ml.) and methylene chloride (25 ml.) and treated with 4-methylmorpholine (1.30 ml., 1.20 g., 11.8 mmol.). The solution was cooled to 0° C. and treated with N-phthalimido-L-tryptophan followed by hydroxybenzotriazole (925 mg., 6.8 mmol.) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (1.438 g., 7.5 mmol.). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 hour and then at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The solution was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water and the organic layer was washed successively with 0.5N hydrochloric acid, water, 5% sodium bicarbonate, and brine, then dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and stripped to give 3.06 g., of title product as a yellow foam. TLC: (ethyl acetate) Rf =0.35.
