(TFA, 15.0 mL, 202 mmol) was added to a solution of 3 (8.43 g, 38.8mmol) in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) at 0 °C,
and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt overnight. After confirming the complete consumption of 3 by
TLC, CH2Cl2 and TFA were distilled off in vacuo. The residual viscous liquid was dissolved in
EtOAc/CH2Cl2 (200 mL/100 mL). Triethylamine (17 mL, 122 mmol), DMT-MM (Tokuyama Co.),
12.6 g, 38.8 mmol), and 2 (13.4 g, 50.1 mmol) were added to the solution at 0 °C, and the resulting
mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The resulting mixture was concentrated on a rotary evaporator, and
then the residual viscous liquid was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (150 mL). It was washed with 0.5 M HCl,
saturated NaHCO3 aq., and saturated NaCl aq., and then dried over anhydrous MgSO4. CH2Cl2 was
evaporated off, and the residual mass was purified by recrystallization from hexane/EtOAc (1/2, volume
ratio) to obtain 4 as a colorless solid in 40%. Mp 155–161 °C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.24 [t,

cyclo(D-p-Hydroxyphenylglycinylsarcosine) (5) TFA (11 mL, 148 mmol) was added to a solution of 4
(5.54 g, 15.1mmol) in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) at 0 °C, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature
overnight. After confirming the complete consumption of 4 by TLC, CH2Cl2 and TFA were distilled off
in vacuo. The residual viscous liquid was dissolved in mesitylene/2-methyl-1-propanol (2/1, volume
ratio), and then triethylamine (5.00 mL, 35.9 mmol) was added to the resulting solution. The resulting
mixture was heated to 110 °C and stirred for 11 h. After standing to cool to rt, a white solid precipitated
was separated by filtration to obtain 5 as a colorless solid in 81%. Mp (decomposed at 250–257 °C).
