Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)carbonyl]amino]-L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride salt (43.03 mmol, 11.75 g) and 1-(2-methoxyethyl)cyclopentane carboxylic acid (43.5 mmol, 7.5 g) in DMF (130 mL) was added HBTU (43.5 mmol, 16.5 g) and diisopropylethylamine (108.8 mmol, 19.02 mL) at room temperature. The clear solution was stirred 23 h at room temperature and was diluted with 200 mL of ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed successively with 0.5 N hydrochloric acid (2×100 mL), saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (2×100 mL), brine solution and was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Filtration of the drying agent and concentration of the solvent gave 18.86 g (84%) of a white solid, mp 85-87° C. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) (400 MHz) δ 10.65 (s, 1H), 7.88 (d, 1H, J=19 Hz), 7.47-7.59 (m, 5H), 7.21 (d, 2H, J=19 Hz), 4.47-4.53 (m, 1H), 3.64 (s, 3H), 2.88-3.1 (m, 7H), 1.76-1.98 (m, 4H), 1.23-1.47 (m, 6H). HR MS C26H30Cl2N2O5): Obs. mass, 521.1586. Calcd. mass, 521.1610 (M+H).
