Triethylamine → (2S,4R)-4-amino-5-biphenyl-4-yl-2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-pentanoic acid ethoxycarbonyloxymethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chloromethyl ethyl carbonate (54 mg, 387 nmol) was added to a mixture of (2S,4R)-5-biphenyl-4-yl-4-t-butoxycarbonylamino-2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-pentanoic acid (100 mg, 242 μmol) and Et3N (35 mL, 254 nmol) 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 to yield (2S,4R)-4-amino-5-biphenyl-4-yl-2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-pentanoic acid ethoxycarbonyloxymethyl ester.
