Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 2.51 g (20.0 mmol) of methyl L-phenylalaninate hydrochloride and 6.7 mL (48 mmol) of TEA in 50 mL of DMF was added 1.86 mL (24 mmol) of methanesulfonyl chloride. After 16 hours, the reaction mixture was added to 200 mL of H2O and 200 mL of EtOAc. The resulting layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with 3x 200 mL of H2O and dried. The resulting residue was chromatographed to yield 2.54 g (49%) of N-(methylsulfonyl)-L-phenylalanine, methyl ester (13), which was a clear colorless glass. Analysis calculated for C11H15NO4S (M.W. 257.30): C, 51.35; H, 5.88; N, 5.44; S, 12.46. Found: C, 50.92; H, 5.92; N, 5.38; S, 12.55.
