Diisopropylethylamine → (2S,3S)-2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl-amino)-3-methyl-valeric acid N-{2-[3-methoxy-4-(naphthalen-1-ylmethoxy)-phenyl]-ethyl}-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

13.9 g of (2S,3S)-2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl-amino)-3-methyl-valeric acid (BOC-L-isoleucine) and 18.5 g of 2-[3-methoxy-4-(naphthalen-1-ylmethoxy)-phenyl]-ethylamine are stirred at room temperature for two hours together with 25 g of (benzotriazol-1-yl)-tris(dimethylamino)-phosphonium hexafluorophosphate and 155 ml of diisopropylethylamine in 300 ml of dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture is then introduced into 800 ml of water. Extraction is carried out twice using 800 ml of ethyl acetate each time. The organic phases are washed twice using 250 ml of 2N hydrochloric acid each time, twice using 250 ml of 2N potassium hydrogen carbonate solution each time and once with 200 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated, yielding (2S,3S)-2-(tert-butoxy-carbonyl-amino)-3-methyl-valeric acid N-{2-[3-methoxy-4-(naphthalen-1-ylmethoxy)-phenyl]-ethyl}-amide in the form of a yellowish oil, which can be purified by chromatography on silica gel.
