Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl (2S)-2-amino-3-(4-bromophenyl)propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.0 g (4.01 mmol) H-Phe(4-Br)—OH were refluxed in 20 ml methanol with 2.1 ml HCl (4 M in 1,4-dioxane) over night. Evaporation of the solvent gave H-Phe(4-Br)—OMe*HCl as white solid. 1.0 g (3.4 mmol) of this hydrochloride and 1.7 ml (10.2 mmol) DIPEA were suspended in 8 ml THF and 0.41 ml (3.4 mmol) 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl chloride were added dropwise at 0° C. After 18 h at room temperature the reaction was quenched with water and the solvent was removed. The residue was suspended in ethyl acetate, washed with saturated Na2SO4 and brine to give compound (13) as an oil.
