Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-(3′-chloro-biphenyl-4-yl)-2-hydroxy-butyric acid methyl ester (610 mg, 1.45 mmol) in CH3CN (20 mL) are added iodomethane (0.545 mL, 8.72 mmol and silver oxide (1.35 g, 5.81 mmol). After being stirred at room temperature for 16 h, additional iodomethane (0.545 mL, 8.72 mmol) and silver oxide (1.35 g, 5.81 mmol) are added and stirred for 3 days. The reaction mixture is filtered through celite pad and the filtrate is washed with brine. The organic layer is dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue is purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, eluent; heptane/EtOAc=100:0 to 0:100) to give (R)-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-(3′-chloro-biphenyl-4-yl)-2-methoxy-butyric acid methyl ester (500 mg). HPLC retention time=1.20, 1.25 minutes (condition B): MS (m+1-Boc)=334. 1 H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.37, 1.41 (s, 9 H), 2.72-3.03 (m, 2 H), 3.43, 3.71 (s, 3H), 3.63-3.82 (m, 1 H), 4.27-4.41 (m, 1 H), 4.68-5.04 (m, 1 H), 7.28-7.40 (m, 4 H), 7.41-7.61 (m, 4 H).
