“…Boc This acid (42 mg, 0.16 mmol) was coupled to tetrapeptide 21 (124 mg, 0.18 mmol) according to general procedure A, with the mixed anhydride formed in 1:1 CH2C12:THF, and using NEt3 as base during the coupling step. The product was isolated by concentration of the reaction mixture followed by addition of H20 and HOAc to precipitate a solid, which was collected by filtration, washed with H20, and dried in vacuo to afford 111 mg (85%) of the title compound: MS (FAB4-) m/e 841 ( + Na)+, 719 (M + H -Boc)+; NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-de, selected data) 1.38 (s, Boc), 3.05 (m, lactam C-5 protons); 3.67 (d, J =17 Hz, 1 H), 3.88 (d, J = 17 Hz, 1 ), 4.09 (dd, J = 9,18 Hz, 1 ), 4.21 (m, 1 H), 4.35 (m, 1 ), 4.51 (m, 1 H), 4.57 (m, 1 H) (a-protons).…”
