Dichloromethane → (2S,4S)-4-(4-Methoxybenzylthio)-2-[4-(N-4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylacetimidoyl)homopiperazin-1-ylcarbonyl]-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

25 ml of methylene chloride were added to a solution of 2.5 g of (2S,4S)-4-(4-methoxybenzylthio)-2-(1-homopiperazinylcarbonyl)-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine hydrochloride [prepared as described in step (i) above] in 25 ml of methanol, which was being heated under reflux, and then 904 mg of N-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)acetamidine were added to the resulting mixture. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for a further 5 hours, after which it was worked up and purified by the same procedure as described in Preparation 1(iii), to give 415 mg of the title compound, as a powder.
