Reaktionsschritte

Potassium tertiary-butoxide (123.4 mg) was suspended in DMAc (2 ml). Under ice-cooling, a solution of methyl (2R)-2-(2,3,4-trifluoroanilino)propionate (223 mg, 91% ee) in DMAc (2 ml) was added thereto. The liquid reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour. Then an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (3 mol/l; 2 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The liquid reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 2 with an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (3 mol/l) and then extracted with IPE. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The crude product thus obtained was recrystallized from a solvent mixture of methylene chloride with normal hexane to thereby give the title compound (206 mg) as colorless crystals. The optical purity of this product was 0% ee. Various spectral data of this product was identical with those obtained in Example 23.
