Glycine → Benzyloxycarbonylglycine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of water was suspended 2.5 g of N-(benzyloxycarbonyloxy)succinimide, and the suspension was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. To this suspension was added 20 ml of an aqueous solution of 0.75 g of glycine and 1.4 ml of triethylamine, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 12 hours as it was, but the desired product, benzyloxycarbonylglycine, could not be obtained.
