Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 12.80 g (68.93 mmol) of DL-cysteine ethyl ester hydrochloride, 25.60 g (311.62 mmol) of 1-hexyne, and 50 mg of 2,2'-azobis-(2-methylpropionitrile) in 250 ml of absolute dioxane was stirred at 60°-65°. under inert gas atmosphere for 20 minutes. After cooling, most of the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was treated with 150 ml of 1 N sodium carbonate solution and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were combined, washed with 3×50 ml of saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo to give 15.90 g (99%) of crude (ethyl 2-aminopropanoate-3-yl) (1-hexenyl) sulfide as a thick pale yellow oil which can be used without further purification in the next step. NMR spectroscopical studies showed that the product is approximately a 1:1 mixture of geometrical isomers.
