Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-amino-3-ureido-propionic acid (0.147 g, 1.0 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (1.0 mL) and 1 N NaOH (3.6 mL) was treated with methyl chloroformate (0.153 mL, 2.0 mmol), stirred at 60° C. for 7 hours, and extracted with dichloromethane. The aqueous phase was acidified to pH 7 with 1 N HCl and evaporated to dryness. The resulting solid was trituated with 3:1 dichloromethane/isopropanol, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to yield a white solid (0.11 g, 53.6%) which was used for the next step without further purification.
