Reaktionsschritte

4-Cyanobenzaldehyde (500 mg, 3.8 mmol) was dissolved in 5 ml of ethanol (96%) and L-(+)-cysteine hydrochloride (460 mg, 3.8 mmol) and natriumacetate trihydrate (468 mg, 5.7 mmol) dissolved in 5 ml of water was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature and the white crystals were collected by filtration and washed twice with 15 ml of water:ethanol (1:1), to afford 400 mg of 2-(RS)-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazolidine-4-(R)-carboxylic acid (48) in 44% yield. 1H-NMR (MEOH, 300 MHz) δ: 7.69 (m, 4H); 5.81 (s, ½H); 5.60 (s, ½H); 4.23 (dd, ½H); 4.02 (dd, ½H); 3.52-3.17 (m, 2H).
