Procedure

The compound 36 was prepared using General Procedure A with ester 35 (3.20 g, 9.13 mmol) and an aqueous NaOH solution (1.46 g, 36.53 mmol in 40 mL of H2O) in MeOH (40 mL). Recrystallization from MeOH produced the desired acid 36 in 95% (2.92 g) yield as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.32 (m, 5H, ArH), 6.10 (s, 1H, NH), 5.67 (s, 1H, NH), 5.04 (s, 2H, OCH2Ar), 3.45 (dt, J=6.4, 12.0 Hz, 2H, CH2NHCO), 3.21 (dt, J=6.4, 12.8 Hz, 2H, CH2NHCO), 2.40 (dt, J=6.0, 6.4 Hz, 2H, CH2CO), 2.32 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 2H, CH2CO), 1.61 (m, 2H, CH2), 1.48 (m, 2H, CH2), 1.33 (m, 2H, CH2); ESI-MS m/z 371[M+Cl]−, 359[M+Na]+, 337[M+H]+, 335[M−H]−.
