Reaktionsschritte

Methyl (2R)-2-(2,3,4-trifluoroanilino)propionate (100 mg, 38% ee) was dissolved in toluene (2 ml) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU; 71.8 mg) was added thereto at room temperature. Then the liquid reaction mixture was stirred at 110° C. for 16 hours. After adding hydrochloric acid (1 mol/l; 1 ml) to the liquid reaction mixture, the aqueous layer was extracted with toluene. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After evaporating the solvent, the obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate-normal hexane=1:4) to thereby give the title compound (86.8 mg) as colorless crystals. The optical purity of this product was 0% ee. The 1H-NMR and IR spectral data of this product was identical with those of the compound obtained in Example 5.
