2-Iodoxybenzoic acid → HCID 131722488, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

CBZ-L-Leu-L-Phe-L-methioninol (sulfoxide) (1.38 g, 2.53 mmol) was dissolved in DMSO. o-Iodoxybenzoic acid (2.12 g, 7.59 mmol) was added, requiring a few minutes of stirring at room temperature to dissolve. After three hours, the DMSO was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was twice diluted with CH2Cl2, and the solvent was evaporated to remove any residual DMSO. The residue was diluted with a minimum of acetone, and the white precipitate was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated to near dryness and dissolved in EtOAc, which produced more of the white precipitate, which was again filtered off. The filtrate was washed with a 10% Na2S2O3/10% NaHCO3 solution, water, and brine before drying over Na2SO4. Upon removal of the organic solvent, the residue was twice taken up in benzene and evaporated to remove any residual water, giving 0.98 g (71%) of a white glassy solid which was used immediately without further purification: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 6 0.81 (m, 6H), 1.30 (m, 2H), 1.50 (m, 1H), 1.97 (m, 1H), 2.48 (s, 3H), 2.55-3.27 (m, 5H), 3.70 (m, 1H), 4.47 (m, 1H), 4.71 (m, 1H), 5.00 (s, 2H), 7.20-7.40 (m, 10H), 7.93 (m, 1H), 8.08 (m, 1H), 8.51 (m, 1H), 9.22 (s, 1H); (M+H) 544.
