Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-valyloxyethyl)benzoic acid (2.0 g, 5.0 mmole) in 1,4-dioxane (20 ml) was added a 40% solution of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (3.1 g, 4.75 mmole) and the mixture was stirred 2 hours at room temperature. The mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and coevaporated two times with 1,4-dioxane and two times with toluene. The dried product was dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml) and iodochloromethane (13.2 g, 75 mmole) was added. The solution was stirred overnight at room temperature and evaporated under reduced pressure. About 50 ml ethyl acetate were added and the organic phase washed twice with water, dried with sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The product was isolated by silica gel column chromatography. Yield: 0.5 g=23%.
