참여 물질

반응 단계

Add 4-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2(S)-hydroxybutyric acid (2.57 g) to absolute ethanol (30 ml) containing thionyl chloride (2.0 ml) and heat the resulting mixture under reflux for 20 hours. Cool, filter and concentrate the reaction mixture in vacuo to give a pale yellow oil. Chromatograph this oil on a column of silica gel (500 ml) using ethyl acetate as eluant to obtain a yellow oil, [α]D26 =+0.4° (MeOH). Hydrogenate the product (1.4 g) in absolute ethanol (50 ml) containing 10% Pd/C (0.50 g) at 50 psi for 2 hours. Filter the mixture and concentrate the mixture in vacuo to give the title compound as an oil.
