Glycine methyl ester hydrochloride → HCID 19754001, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-t-butoxycarbonylsarcosinal (1.50 g) and glycine methyl ester hydrochloride (1.63 g) in methanol (60 ml) was added a solution of sodium cyanoborohydride (544 mg) in methanol (10 ml) at ambient temperature. The mixture was stirred overnight at the same temperature. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 ml), and the solution was washed with 1M sodium bicarbonate solution and water successively, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (chloroform as eluent) to give N-[2-(N-t-butoxycarbonyl-N-methylamino)ethyl]glycine methyl ester (1.04 g) as an oil.
