Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of benzyl 2(S)-[N-methyl-N-(2-carboxyethyl)aminocarbonyloxy]-3-phenylpropionate (460 mg) and isobutylamine (143 ml) in anhydrous methylene chloride (10 ml) was added N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (274 mg) portionwise at 0°-5° C. After being stirred at the same temperature for 3 hours, the solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (30 ml). The solution was washed with 0.5 N hydrochloric acid (30 ml), water (30 ml), aqueous sodium bicarbonate (30 ml), water (30 ml) and brine (30 ml) successively, and dried over magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave benzyl 2(S)-[N-methyl-N-(2-isobutylcarbamoylethyl)aminocarbonyloxy]-3-phenylpropionate (440 mg) as an oil.
