Procedure

225.8 g (1.17 mol) of N-benzylglycine ethyl ester (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 72, 1238 (1950)) are heated under reflux overnight in 600 ml of water. Product which has crystallized out is filtered off with suction and the filtrate is extracted once with tert.-butyl methyl ether. The aqueous phase is concentrated and the crystals obtained are dried over phosphorus pentoxide in a desiccator together with the product filtered off.
