Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → HCID 54017655, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

22.90 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was added to 300 ml of a solution of 26.39 g of N-benzyloxyleucine and 13.35 g of N-hydroxysuccinimide in anhydrous dioxane. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered to remove the insoluble materials, whereby a colorless solution was obtained. Separately, 20 ml of triethylamine was added to 300 ml of a suspension of 28.57 g of diethyl aminomalonate hydrochloride in anhydrous dioxane. To the mixture was applied an ultrasonic wave for 1 hour. Thereto was added the above colorless solution. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours and then at a bath temperature of 100° C. for 3.5 hours. The reaction mixture was subjected to distillation to remove the solvent. The residue was dissolved in 1,000 ml of ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, an aqueous solution saturated with sodium hydrogen carbonate and an aqueous solution saturated with sodium chloride in this order, then dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and subjected to distillation to remove the solvent to obtain 39.22 g of diethyl N-(N-benzyloxyleucyl)aminomalonate as a yellow oily substance.
