HCID 67586227, compound → (4-nitrophenyl)methyl (2S,4S)-4-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methylsulfanyl]-2-[4-[N-[(4-nitrophenyl)methoxycarbonyl]carbamimidoyl]piperazine-1-carbonyl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

740 mg of (2S,4S)-4-(4-methoxybenzylthio)-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxy)pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid was dissolved in 7.4 ml of dry acetonitrile, and 330 mg of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole were added to the resulting solution, after which the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. At the end of this time, a solution of 525 mg of 1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylamidino)piperazine [prepared as described in step (c) above] dissolved in 10 ml of acetonitrile was added to the resulting mixture, and the mixture was left to stand overnight under the same conditions. The reaction mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate, after which it was washed with an aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate, with water and with an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, in that order, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, eluted first with ethyl acetate alone and then with a 4:1 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate and acetonitrile, in that order. The fractions containing the desired compound were concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure, to obtain 890 mg of the title compound, as a powder.
