Reaction Steps

To a suspension of the dipeptide of Example 57 (100 mg, 0.23 mmol) in dry THF (2 mL) was added DIPEA (40 μL, 0.46 mmol). After the mixture became a homogenous solution, it was cooled to 0° C. and methyl bromoacetate (22 μL, 0.23 mmol) was introduced as a solution in dry THF (0.5 mL). The light suspension, which appeared shortly after, was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min and then at room temperature for 5 hours. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuum, dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with H2O and brine. Drying (Na2SO4) and evaporation gave the title compound (92 mg) as a yellow foam. Flash chromatography (CH2Cl2 to 5% methanol in CH2Cl2) gave the desired product in 62% yield: 1HNMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) □ 8.52 (br s, 1H), 7.82 (d, 1H), 7.59 (d, 1H), 7.38-7.02 (m, 4H), 4.75 (m, 1H), 4.18 (m, 1H), 3.68 (s, 3H), 3.61-3.21 (m and dd, 3H), 3.14 (dd, 1H), 2.85 (m, 2H), 1.42 (s, 9H), 1.36 (s, 9H); MS (Pos. FAB) 504.5 (MH)+.
