L-Histidine methyl ester (I) was protected as the bis(tritylated) derivative (II) upon treatment with triphenylmethyl chloride and Et3N. Reduction of the ester function of (III) with LiAlH4 afforded alcohol (III), which was coupled with cyclohexylmethyl bromide (IV) in the presence of NaH in DMF, yielding the cyclohexylmethyl ether (V). Finally, cleavage of the trityl protecting groups of (V) with HCl in THF provided the title compound as the dihydrochloride salt.
