Reaction Steps

To a mixture of N-[4-(trans-2-aminocyclopropyl)phenyl]-Nα-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]-D-phenylalaninamide hydrochloride (100 mg) described in a document (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 6827.), sodium hydrogen carbonate (27.0 mg), and methanol (4.00 mL) was added benzaldehyde (0.022 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with dehydrated THF (6.00 mL), and cooled in an ice bath. Sodium borohydride (24.4 mg) was added and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hr. To the reaction mixture was added saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted twice with ethyl is acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate), and the fractions containing the object product were combined and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in methanol (5.00 mL), 10% hydrochloric acid methanol solution (1.00 mL) was added, and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (84.6 mg).
