Reaction Steps

2-(2-Amino-3-methoxy-propionylamino)-3-naphthalen-2-yl-propionic acid methyl ester, 58, (4.43 g, 12.1 mmol) and 2-nitrobenzene sulfonyl chloride (2.8 g, 12.7 mmol) are dissolved in any THF (20 mL). The mixture is cooled to 0° C. and triethyl amine (5 mL) is added to the reaction mixture which is then allowed to stir overnight at room temperature. Water (100 mL) is added and the reaction mixture pH adjusted to 3 with 1M KHSO4. The solution is extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL) and the organic layers are combined and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent is removed in vacuo to afford 6.4 g (quantitative yield) of the desired product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, δ): 8.02 (m, 1H), 7.8 (m, 4H), 7.60 (m, 3H), 7.48 (m, 2H), 7.33 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.20 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.58 (d, J=6.25 Hz, 1H), 4.57 (quartet, J=6.25 Hz, 1H), 4.02 (quartet, J=6.25 Hz, 1H), 3.70 (s, 3H), 3.47 (m, 2H), 3.44 (m, 2H), 3.49 (s, 3H); 13C NMR, δ 171.5, 168.7, 147.9, 134.2, 133.6, 133.5, 133.2, 132.7, 131.0, 128.4, 128.3, 127.9, 127.5, 126.5, 126.1, 125.9, 72.3, 59.1, 56.6, 53.8, 52.7, 38.0.
