solution of Cbz-valine-5-FU (31.2 mg, 0.063 mmol) in
5 mL of deoxygenated MeOH was added p-TsOH
(12 mg, 0.063 mmol) and 10% Pd±C (6 mg, 20% w/w).
The suspension was stirred under 1 atm of H2 for 40 min
after which time TLC analysis indicated that the
reaction was complete. The catalyst was removed by
®ltration and the solvent was evaporated to aord the
p-TsOH salt of the amine. The crude salt was dissolved
in 5 mL of anhydrous DMF. A solution of 13 (20.2 mg,
0.021 mmol) in 5 mL of DMF was added, quickly fol-
lowed by HOAt (8.6 mg, 0.063 mmol), EDC (12 mg,
