Reaction Steps

D-Phenylalanine (250 mg, 1.52 mmol) was dissolved in 5 ml EtOH previously bubbled in HCl (gas). The solution was brought to 100° C. and allowed to reflux overnight. The solvent was evaporated off affording 280 mg crude product. Recrystallization from EtOH/EtOAc/pentane gave 239 mg (81% yield) of D-phenylalanine ethyl ester as white crystals.
