Procedure

In an argon atmosphere and under anhydrous conditions, 2.42 moles (391.8 g) of 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and 3 liters of dry THF were mixed in a reactor. 1.89 moles (502.3 g) of Boc-phenylalanine was then added in five portions to the reactor to form a carbonyldiimidazole Boc-phenylalanine solution. Vigorous gas evolution was observed from the reaction. The mixture was refluxed for one hour and subsequently cooled to about 30° C.
