Triethylamine → N-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)-4-phenacyloxy-L-phenylalanine cyclohexylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)-4-benzyloxy-L-phenylalanine (I) (4.46 g) was dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (110 ml) and triethylamine (1.80 ml) was added under ice-cooling, followed by stirring for 15 minutes. To this solution was added ethyl chlorocarbonate (1.44 g) and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. After adding 4-amino-2-chloropyridine (1.54 g), the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 10 hours. The solid was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was purified with a column chromatography to obtain N-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)-4-benzyloxy-L-phenylalanine 4-(2-chloro)pyridylamide (II) (0.60 g). Following the procedure of Example 7, the final compound N-(trans-4-aminomethylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-4-benzyloxy-L-phenylalanine 4-(2-chloro)pyridylamide hydrochloride (III) (0.67 g) was obtained from the compound (II).
