Participants

Reaction Steps

While maintaining the nitrogen atmosphere, the product of Step (K) above is admixed with 3 fold molar excess of carbobenzoxy-L-phenylalanine [Boc-L-phenylalanine, Peninsula, supra.] dissolved in methylene chloride. The resulting mixture is shaken and after about 10 minutes, 3 fold molar excess of N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in 15 ml. of methylene chloride is added with stirring. The resulting mixture is shaken at room temperature for 4.5 to 5 hours. At the end of this period, the reaction mixture is filtered and the residue washed and dried.
