4-Methylmorpholine → Leucinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.3 g (0.33 mmol) of N-[N-[N-[N-[N-[3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)propionyl]-O-tert-butyl-L-α-aspartyl]-O-tert-butyl-L-α-glutamyl]-2-methyl-L-phenylalanyl]-3-methyl-L-valyl]-L-leucine was dissolved in 15 ml of dichloromethane. 0.22 ml (1.98 mmol) of N-methylmorpholine, 96 mg (0.5 mmol) of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, 45 mg (0.33 mmol) of hydroxybenzotriazole and 217 mg (0.99 mmol) of 3,3-difluoro-1(S)-(dimethoxymethyl)butylamine hydrochloride were added and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was washed with 2M hydrochloric acid and aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and evaporated. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether and the resulting solid was filtered off and dried. There were obtained 143 g of N2-[N-[N-[N-[N-[3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)propionyl]-O-tert-butyl-L-α-aspartyl]-O-tert-butyl-L-α-glutamyl]-2-methyl-L-phenylalanyl]-3-methyl-L-valyl]-N1-[3,3-difluoro-1(S)-dimethoxymethyl)butyl]-L-leucinamide; MS: m/e 1106 [M+Na]+.
