Trifluoroacetic acid → (R)-methyl 1-((S)-3-amino-2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)propanoyl)piperidine-2-carboxylate trifluoroacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round bottom flask was added (R)-methyl 1-((S)-2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)propanoyl)piperidine-2-carboxylate (1.80 gm, 3.88 mmol), DCM (5 mL) and TFA (5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was then concentrated and dried under vacuum for 3 hr to afford (R)-methyl 1-((S)-3-amino-2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)propanoyl)piperidine-2-carboxylate trifluoroacetate (1.87 g, 3.92 mmol, 100% yield) as a colorless oil. Anal. Calcd. for C18H25N3O5 m/z 363.4. found: 364.3 (M+H)+.
