反応手順

To 3 g of the 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)amino-2-hydroxypropionic acid prepared in Example I was added 200 ml of benzene and 20 ml of 2-methoxybenzyl alcohol. About 0.5 ml of concentrated HCl was added to catalyze the reaction. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 6 hours and the water was collected by a moisture trap. The reaction mixture was extracted with 200 ml of 0.5% HCl in water. The aqueous layer was basified with NaHCO3 and extracted with CHCl3. Evaporation of the CHCl3 gave an oily residue which after chromotography on a column (silica gel/Et2O:EtOH=5:1) gave 1 g (23%) of white solid: m.p. 79.5°-82.5° C. The NMR, IR and mass spectra were consistent with the assigned structure and the elemental analysis was consistent with the empirical formula C21H27O6N.
