Procedure: To a solution of the compound from Step 1 (0.434 g, 2 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL) was added Cbz-His(Trt)-OH (1.062 g, 2 mmol), triethylamine (0.8 mL, 5.7 mmol) and HBTU (0.758 g, 2 mmol) dissolved in acetonitrile (10 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solution was concentrated, the residue taken up in ethyl acetate and washed three times with saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography was carried out on silica gel, using 30% hexanes in ethyl acetate as eluent, to give an oil; 1.38 g (94% yield). MS-APCI: M+1=732. The solution was concentrated washed three times with saturated NaHCO3, brine dried over MgSO4 filtered concentrated in vacuo to give an oil

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Triethylamine (7 mL, 50 mmol) was added to a solution of β-alanine methyl ester hydrochloride (5.25 g, 37.5 mmol) in methylene chloride (100 mL). The solution was cooled to 0° C. and t-butyl bromoacetate (4.88 g, 25 mmol) in methylene chloride (100 mL) was then added. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was taken up in ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate was washed with saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo; 0.80 g (14% yield). The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature The solvent was removed in vacuo The ethyl acetate was washed with saturated NaHCO3, brine dried over MgSO4 filtered concentrated in vacuo

Procedure: Scheme 2 shows a method by which the compounds of the present invention can be prepared, by illustrating the synthesis of Example 4, methyl 3-([(2S)-2-[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]amino-3-(1H-4-imidazolyl)propanoyl]-2-[(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl)amino]-2-oxoethylamino)propanoate. Reaction of β-alanine methyl ester hydrochloride with t-butyl bromoacetate was carried out in methylene chloride in the presence of triethylamine as the base to give 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl-amino)-propionic acid methyl ester which was then coupled to Cbz-His(trityl) in methylene chloride/acetonitrile with HBTU as coupling agent, and triethylamine as the base. The resulting product was treated with 95% aqueous TFA, to remove the trityl and the t-butyl groups, followed by coupling with β,β-dimethylphenethylamine in methylene chloride/dimethylformamide, with HBTU as coupling agent, and diisopropylethylamine as the base to give the desired product. can be prepared
