Reaction Steps

To 140 mg (0.30 mmol) of di-tert-butyl (4R)—N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(4-hydroxy-benzyl)-D-glutamate in 5 mL N,N-dimethylformamide were added 42 mg (0.3 mmol) of powdered potassium carbonate and 56 mg (0.30 mmol) of 1-iodo-3-fluoropropane (ABCR GmbH, Germany) and the resulting suspension was heated for 2 h at 100° C. in a microwave oven. The reaction mixture was then filtered, the solvent evaporated and the residue was taken up in ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was separated off, washed with water until neutral, dried over sodium sulfate and filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The crude product obtained in this manner was chromatographed on silica gel using a dichloromethane/methanol gradient, and the appropriate fractions were combined and concentrated.
