L-Alanine → L-alanine ethyl ester 4-ethylbenzenesulfonate

참여 물질

반응 단계

L-alanine (1.50 g, 16.84 mmol) and 4-ethylbenzenesulfonic acid (4-EBS) (3.76 g, 20.20 mmol) were added to ethanol (15 ml), and the mixture was heated overnight at 70 EC to perform esterification. To complete the esterification reaction, the mixture was heated to 90 EC, and ethanol (200 ml) was added over 3.5 hours, while distilling away almost the same amount of ethanol. Thereafter, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dried under reduced pressure. The obtained oily residue was cooled in a refrigerator to allow partial crystallization. Diethyl ether (5 ml) and ethyl acetate (5 ml) were added, the residue was completely dissolved at 40° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. Since crystallization occurred when a vessel containing the reaction solution was immersed in ice water, ethyl acetate (15 ml) was further added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature to give a slurry. This slurry was cooled overnight in a refrigerator, and the crystals were separated and dried to give 2.98 g of L-alanine ethyl ester 4-ethylbenzenesulfonate (L-Ala-OEt 4-EBS salt) dry crystals (L-Ala-OEt 4-EBS salt content 98.5%, 9.67 mmol, yield 57.4%).
