Methanol → Methyl (2S)-2-amino-3-(4-iodophenyl)propanoate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 92 (2.00 g, 6.87 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) at 0° C. was added thionyl chloride (2 mL) and the resulting solution was allowed to stir for 16 h whilst equilibrating to RT. The reaction was evaporated to dryness in vacuo to yield the title compound (2.25 g, 6.80 mmol, 99%) as a white solid, which had spectral data in agreement with that reported.93 [α]D21 −9.3 (c. 0.15, HCl).
