1-Hydroxybenzotriazole → 2-((2S,3S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-phenyl-butyrylamino)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.57 g, 3.62 mmol) and (2S,3S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-phenyl-butyric acid (Acros) (1.01 g, 3.62 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and (0.59 g, 4.34 mmol) and O-benzeotrazol-1-yl-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluroniumhexaflurorophosphate (1.65 g, 4.34 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (8 mL) were stirred at ambient temperature for 24 hours. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, brine and dried (magnesium sulfate). Evaporation of the solvents and chromatography of the residue over silica gel gradient eluted with 0.2-1.5% methanol in dichloromethane gave 2-((2S,3S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-phenyl-butyrylamino)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.65 g, 43%).
