Introduction o f compound 7 onto MBHA resin
M BHA hydrochloride resin (70 g, 1.03 mmol/g)
was swelled in CH 2C12 (700 ml), then neutralized
by 10% TEA /C H 2C12. A fter washing by CH2C12,
M eO H and CH2C12 (3 x with each), the coupling
was done in DM F (700 ml) using Fmoc-XALa
(70 g, 130.7 mmol), DCC (26.9 g, 130.7 mmol) and
H O B t (8.8 g, 65.4 mmol) for 24 h at room tem per-
ature (checking by Kaiser test [22]). The resin was
filtered, washed with DMF, CH2C12 and M eOH,
then dried. 120 g (0.50-0.59 mmol/g) of modified
resin was obtained.

Keto acid 5 (30 g, 96 mmol) was suspended in
H 20 , then dissolved by adding a solution of 1 M
aqueous NaO H (110 ml, 110 mmol). NaBH4 was
added in a single portion. The reaction mixture
was stirred for 2.5 h at 50-52° C, cooled to 10° C
and solid N aH C 03 (54 g, 200 equiv.) was added in
