Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7.60 g (17.3 mmol) of tert-butyl 5-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2(S)-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4(R)-hydroxypentanoate (Org. Lett. (2001) 3, 20:3153-3155) in 516 ml of dichloromethane and 516 ml of trifluoroacetic acid is stirred at RT for 2 h. The solvent is evaporated. The remaining crude product is dissolved in 2.6 l of anhydrous methanol and, while stirring at 0° C., 6.3 g (28.8 mmol) of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate and 7.3 ml (52.43 mmol) of triethylamine are added. After 15 h, the reaction solution is evaporated and the residue is taken up in 1 l of ethyl acetate. After the phases have separated, the organic phase is extracted twice with a 5% citric acid solution, twice with water and once with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product is purified by chromatography on silica gel with toluene/acetone (5/1). 4.92 g (78% of theory) of product are obtained.
