Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve 2-{2-[2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3,dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-2-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxycarbonyl)-ethyl]-benzylamino}-4-methyl-valeric acid, tert-butyl ester (221 mg, 0.372 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) and treat with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (0.43 mL of a 1.0M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 0.43 mmol). Stir for 1.5 hours, evaporate the solvent in vacuo and dissolve the residue in ethyl acetate (75 mL). Wash with 1N hydrochloric acid (25 mL) and brine (25 mL). Dry (Na2SO4) and evaporate the solvent in vacuo to give the title compound as a white solid (188 mg).
