Reaction Steps

0.65 g (5.0 mmol) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (“Hünig's base”) and 0.45 g (5.0 mmol) of morpholine are added at room temperature to a solution of 2.0 g (5.0 mmol) of tert-butyl N-methyl-N-(4-nitro-phenoxy)carbonyl-L-alanyl-D-lactate in 40 ml of methylene chloride, and the mixture is stirred at reflux temperature for 18 hours. During the course of this a strong yellow colouration of the reaction mixture occurs. The reaction solution is shaken twice with water, and the organic phase is separated off and concentrated in vacuo after drying over sodium sulphate. The residual crude product is chroratographed on a silica gel column (silica gel 60—Merck, particle size: 0.04 to 0.063 mm) using the eluent cyclohexane:ethyl acetate (1:1).
