Methyl ethyl xanthate (22.44 g, 0.165 mol) in 15 ml of methanol was then added in one portion. The mixture was heated at 45° C. for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature, and washed with two portions of ethylene dichloride. The ethylene dichloride washes were discarded and the aqueous phase acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid at 0° C. The solution was saturated with solid sodium chloride and extracted with two portions of ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo to afford 29.4 g (89%) of white crystalline N-ethoxythiocarbonyl-L-aspartic acid. mp 133° C.; nmr (DMSO-d6) δ1.23 (t, 3H, J=7 Hz), 2.67 (d, 2H, J=6 Hz), 4.37 (q, 2H, J=7 Hz), 4.93 (dt, 1H, J=6 Hz, 8 Hz), 9.26 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz).
