products and were used without further purification unless otherwise
indicated. Boc-Glu(OBzl)–OH (Boc-
ester,
(FC) was performed using silica gel 60 (230–400 mesh, Sigma-Aldrich). 1H NMR spectra were obtained at 200 MHz and 13C
NMR spectra were recorded at 50 MHz (Bruker DPX 200 spectrometer).
Chemical shifts are reported as δ values (parts per million)
relative to remaining protons in deuterated solvent. Coupling constants
are reported in hertz. The multiplicity is defined by s (singlet),
d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), p (pentet), br (broad), or
m (multiplet). HPLC analyses were performed on an Aglient LC 1100
series. High-resolution MS experiments were performed using an Agilent
Technologies LC/MSD TOF mass spectrometer.
