Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-hydroxy-4-amino-1-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (202 mg, 1.14 mmol) in CH2CI2 (5 mL) was added CBZ-leucine (302.9 mg, 1.14 mmol), HOBT (154 mg, 1.14 mmol) and EDC (262.2 mg, 1.37 mmol). The reaction was allowed to stir until complete by TLC analysis whereupon it was diluted with EtOAc and washed sequentially with pH 4 buffer, sat. K2CO3, water and brine. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. Column chromatography of the residue (3:1 EtOAc:hexanes) gave 325 mg of the title compound: MS (ES+) 450.3 (MH+), 472.2 (M+Na).
