Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → HCID 20698898, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.82 g (2.65 mmol) of {4-[N-Boc-4-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-prolinyl]amino-2-phenylbenzoyl}methionine methyl ester, prepared as in Example 169B, in 20 ml of THF was added 3 ml (3 mmol) of 1 M tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in THF. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight, diluted with ethyl acetate, and washed 3 times with water. The combined aqueous washings were extracted 3 times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic fractions were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate) to obtain 864 mg (57%) of [4-(N-Boc-4-hydroxyprolinyl)amino-2-phenylbenzoyl]methionine methyl ester as a white solid: mp 121-123° C. ; [α]25D−53.3 (c=0.43, CHCl3);
