Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine (1.05 g) and triethylamine (0.73 ml) in dimethylformamide (9 ml), 2-ethoxycarbonyloxyimino-2-cyanoacetic acid amide (1.11 g) is added, and the resulting mixture is stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is treated as in Example A to give N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine ethyl ester (0.2 g) as an oil.
