General Procedure for the Synthesis of Compound 44-50. To
a solution of 37-43 (0.1 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (5-10 mL)
was added N-methylmorpholine (0.12 mmol) and 2-chloro-4,6-
dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (0.12 mmol). The resulting mixture was
stirred at room temperature for 2 h. N-Methylmorpholine (0.12
mmol) and diethyl-L-glutamate hydrochloride (0.1 mmol) were
added to the mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred for an
additional 3 h at room temperature, and silica gel was added to
this solution and the suspension evaporated under reduced pressure.
The plug obtained was loaded on a silica gel column and eluted
with 2% methanol in chloroform. The fractions containing the
desired product (TLC) were pooled and evaporated to afford the
products.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Compounds 2-8. To a
solution of 44-50 in ethanol (5-10 mL) was added aqueous 1 N
NaOH and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for
3 h. The ethanol was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the
residue was dissolved in water (5-10 mL). The solution was cooled
to 0 °C and carefully acidified to pH 3 with dropwise addition of
1 N HCl. The resulting suspension was left at 0 °C for 12 h, and
the residue was collected by filtration, washed with water (5 mL),
and dried over P2O5/vacuum at 50 °C to afford the free acids 2-8.
