Reaction Steps

(S)-2-Benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyric acid chloromethyl ester (232 mg, 774 μmol) was added to a mixture of (2S,4R)-5-biphenyl-4-yl-4-t-butoxycarbonylamino-2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-pentanoic acid (0.2 g, 484 μmol) and Et3N (71 μL, 508 μmol) in acetone (10 mL). The mixture was refluxed for 24 hours and the reaction monitored for completion. When the reaction was complete, the product was purified (Interchim reverse phase chromatography column) the solvent was removed under vacuum. MeCN (2 mL) and 4 M HCl in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL, 8 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the product was azeotroped with toluene (1×) to yield (2S,4R)-4-amino-5-biphenyl-4-yl-2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-pentanoic acid (S)-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyryloxymethyl ester.
