di-tert-butyl 4-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-L-glutamate → (4R)-4-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-L-glutamic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Di-tert-butyl 4-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-L-glutamate (27 mg, 58 μmol) was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture was then taken up in toluene and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC (RP-18; solvents: acetonitrile (+0.1% trifluoroacetic acid), water (+0.1% trifluoroacetic acid); gradient: 30%->40% acetonitrile (20 min)).
