Hydrogen Bromide → 3-[3 (S)-[[L-asparaginyl]amino]-2(R)-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyl]-N-tert.butyl-4(R)-thiazolidinecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 170 mg of 3-[3(S)-[[N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-asparaginyl]amino]-2(R)-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyl]-N-tert.butyl-4(R)-thiazolidinecarboxamide and 0.3 ml of 32% (w/w) hydrogen bromide in glacial acetic acid was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The solution was diluted with diethyl ether and the precipitated solid was rapidly filtered off, washed with diethyl ether and dissolved in water. The solution was made alkaline by the addition of potassium carbonate and extracted with three portions of chloroform. The combined chloroform extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to give 110 mg of 3-[3(S)-[[L-asparaginyl]amino]-2(R)-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyl]-N-tert.butyl-4(R)-thiazolidinecarboxamide; MS: m/e 466 [M+H]+.
