189. NCAs of amino acids are used to make polyamino acids. The reactivity of N- alkyl NCAs is probably much lower than that of N-H NCAs. A quinapril precursor was prepared on scale using 2 mol% of acetic acid, perhaps as a catalyst for reacting with the N- alkyl NCA. The tert- butyl ester of (S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-isoquinolinecarboxylic acid (from 30 kg of the tosic acid salt) in toluene was added over about 5 min to a solution of the ethyl ester of (2 S,4 S)-2-(4-methyl-2,5-dioxo-oxazolidin-3-yl)4-phenyl-butyric acid (23.5 kg) and 90 g of AcOH in toluene. No temperature was mentioned, and no yield was given, but the in-process HPLC data indicated the conversion was essentially quantitative. Jennings, S. M. Preparation of Quinapril Hydrochloride.
