5-Bromo-2-chlorobenzoic acid → HCID 53655106, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-amino-N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl)-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (20 mmol, 5.88 g), 2-chloro-5-bromobenzoic acid (22 mmol, 5.18 g) and HBTU (22 mmol, 8.34 g) in DMF (70 mL) was added diisopropylethylamine (50 mmol, 8.7 mL) at room temperature. The suspension was stirred for 48 h at which time TLC analysis of the mixture indicated the absence of starting material. Then, the mixture was diluted with water (100 mL) and the solids were collected by filtration and washed with water (150 mL). After air drying, the crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 1.02 g (10%) of a white solid: mp 158-161° C. HR MS (C22H24BrClN2O5): Ob, 533.0442. Calcd mass, 533.0455 (M+Na).
