Participants

Reaction Steps

560 mg of the product of stage A) of example 2 is dissolved in 20 ml of methanol and hydrogenated in the presence of 0.3 g of Pd/C (10%) and 1.41 ml of 1N hydrochloric acid. After working up as described in stage C) of example 1, (S)-3-[N-(3-methylbutyryl)amino]-6-aminohexanoic acid methylester hydrochloride is obtained in the form of a colourless oil. 400 mg of the hydrochloride and 392 mg of N-Boc-p-amidinophenylacetic acid, together with 0.2 ml of triethylamine, 259 mg of HOBT and 290 mg of DCC, are reacted and worked up as described in stage C) of example 1. After cleavage of the Boc group with TFA and hydrolysis of the methylester with LiOH-H2O analogously to stage C) of example 1, the crude product obtained is recrystallized from methanol. The (S)-3-[N-(3-methylbutyryl)amino]-6-[N-(p-amidinophenylacetyl)amino]hexanoic acid trifluoroacetate product is isolated as a white powder; MS: 391 (M+H)+. The free compound is obtained from the trifluoroacetate in known manner.
