The reaction mixture is stirred at 70° for four days. The reaction is then poured into ice-water (30 ml) and 10 ml of 2 N sulfuric acid which is extracted with ether (3×30 ml). The combined ether extracts are washed with water (2×30 ml) and brine (10 ml), dried over calcium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The crude product is purified by preparative TLC to yield the m-phenoxybenzyl ester of N-(p-chlorophenyl)valine.
