Compound 1 was prepared as reported before [18] from the corresponding 2-hydroxydibenzo[b,d]furan-1-carbaldehyde 2 by condensation with diethyl malonate to build the pyranone ring. Basic hydrolysis of the ester 1 resulted in the corresponding acid 3 with 67% yield, which gave the expected OH signal as a very broad singlet at 13 ppm and the disappearance of the ethyl group. The acid derivative 3 was coupled to the ethyl ester of leucine by DCC/HOBt method, resulting in the product 4 with 38% yield (Scheme1 and 2).
Unexpectedly, a low yield was obtained possibly due to the bulky amino acid side chain. The NMR data were in accordance with the expected for the final compound, namely the emergence of a doublet at 9.24 ppm assigned to the amide NH, the doublet at 1.02 ppm due to the two CH3 groups of the amino acid side chain.
The same coupling method was applied to the reaction of the acid 3 with the methyl ester of alanine resulting in the product 5 with 93% yield (Scheme 2) showing the expected signals in the NMR spectra.
