Procedure

To a stirred solution of 2-phthalimido-3-phenylpropionic acid (2.95 g, 10.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (25 mL) are added carbonyldiimidazole (1.62 g, 10.0 mmol) and a few crystals of 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine, followed by 15 mL of tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 45 minutes and I mL of concentrated ammonium hydroxide then is added. After 10 minutes, the reaction mixture is diluted with 50 mL water and the resulting slurry is partially concentrated to remove the tetrahydrofuran and filtered. The solid is washed with water and dried in vacuo (60° C., <1 mm) to afford 2.46 g (84%) of 2-phthalimido-3-phenylpropionamide as a white powder: mp 224-226° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 250 MHz) δ7.79 (s, 4H, Ar), 7.71 (br s, 1H, CONH2), 7.32 (br s, 1H, CONH2), 7.20-7.02 (m. 5H, Ar), 5.06-4.98 (m, 1H), 3.56-3.25 (m, 2H); 13C NMR (DMSO-d6, 250 MHz) d: 169.6, 168.0, 137.1, 134.3, 131.2, 129.5, 128.1, 126.3, 122.9, 54.2, 33.7. Anal. Calculated for C17H14N2O3. Theoretical: C, 69.38; H,4.79; N, 9.52. Found: C, 69.37; H, 4.73; N, 9.43.
