Reaction Steps

β-Phenylethylamine is derivatized with Bolton-Hunter reagent as follows. β-Phenylethylamine and Bolton-Hunter reagent were mixed in equimolar quantities in a 1:1 solution of methanol and sodium phosphate buffer (1M, pH 8). After 30 minutes, an excess of water was added. A crystalline solid was collected, washed with water and dried in vacuo giving 1-[3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionylamino]-2-(phenyl) ethane in 75% yield.
