Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.0 gram of N2 -dansyl-L-arginine and 1.4 gram of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate in 10 ml of benzyl alcohol was heated for 30 minutes at 100°C. To the thus obtained clear solution, 100 ml of benzene was added, and the mixture was refluxed for 5 hours, removing water by azeotropic distillation. After the solvent was removed by distillation, 100 ml of ethyl ether was added to the residue, giving a crystalline mass. Crystallization from acetone gave N2 -dansyl-L-arginine benzyl ester di(p-toluenesulfonate) in 87% yield; mp. 150°-153°C.
