Reaction Steps

(S)-2-[(Azepane-1-carbonyl)-amino]-4-methyl-pentanoic acid (0.51 g, 2.0 mmol, Example 1, Step B) was dissolved in dry DMF (5 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere and cooled to 0° C. in an ice-water bath. To this solution were added, in succession, N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.68 mL, 3.9 mmol) and solid O-benzotriazol-1-yl-N,N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (0.74 g, 2.0 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at that temperature for 30 minutes; 2,2-diphenylethylamine (0.38 g, 1.9 mmol, Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.) was then added. After additional 30 minutes stirring at 0° C., reaction mixture was mixed with 60 mL of diethyl ether; the resulting mixture was successively washed with 5% aqueous HCl solution, brine, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, brine, and was dried over Na2SO4. The solution was concentrated in vacuo, a white solid was obtained. Recrystallization from EtOAc-hexanes afforded 0.71 g (84%) of the pure titled compound as a white solid; mp 194-195° C. APCI-MS m/z 436.3 (MH+).
