Procedure

A mixture containing 29.9 gm (0.017 mol) of Nα-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine, 30 ml of ethanol, and 9.0 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid in 250 ml of methylene chloride was refluxed for 22.5 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and basified to pH of about 13 by the careful addition of a saturated aqueous solution of potassium carbonate. The aqueous phase was removed and the organic phase was washed one more time with a saturated potassium carbonate solution. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 29.8 gm (91% ) of ethyl Nα-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysinate (II-F) as an oil.
