Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of S-p-methoxybenzyl-N-(2-p-methoxybenzylthio-2-methylpropionyl)-L-cysteine (3.0 g) in dimethylformamide(20 ml), sodium hydride(0.3 g) was added under nitrogen atomosphere at room temperature and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. Methyl iodide(0.5 ml) was added to the mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hours at room temperature. Water(300 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and extracted with ether. The organic layer was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The oily residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography to give 2.8 g(90%) of the titled compound.
