O-benzyl-N-((tert-butoxy)carbonyl)-L-tyrosine → N-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)-4-benzyloxy-L-phenylalanine 3,4-dimethylcyclohexylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)-4-benzyloxy-L-phenylalanine (0.3 g) and 3,4-dimethylcyclohexylamine (0.1 g) were dissolved in dry methylene chloride (30 ml) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.2 g) was added to the solution, followed by stirring at room temperature for 12 hours. According to a conventional post-treatment, N-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)-4-benzyloxy-L-phenylalanine 3,4-dimethylcyclohexylamide (I) (0.32 g) was obtained. The above compound (I) (0.3 g) was allowed to react with 4N-hydrogen chloride/dioxane solution to obtain 4-benzyloxy-L-phenylalanine 3,4-dimethylcyclohexylamide hydrochloride (II) (0.26 g). The above compound (II) (0.26 g) and 4-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)aminomethylbenzoic acid (0.16 g) were dissolved in dry methylene chloride (20 ml)-pyridine solution, and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.15 g) was added to the solution. The reaction was carried out at room temperature for 12 hours. After a conventional post-treatment, N-[4-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)aminomethylbenzoyl]-4-benzyloxy-L-phenylalanine 3,4-dimethylcyclohexylamide (III) (0.23 g) was obtained. The above compound (III) was allowed to react with 4N-hydrogen chloride/dioxane solution to (2 ml) obtain N-(4-aminomethylbenzoyl)-4-benzyloxy-L-phenylalanine 3,4-dimethylcyclohexylamide hydrochloride (0.18 g).
