Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.5 ml of triethylamine was added to 500 mg of amino-acetic acid ethylester hydrochloride dissolved in 5 ml of chloroform, and the solution was cooled to −78° C. 0.34 ml of methoxyacetylchloride diluted with 3 ml of chloroform was slowly added thereto, and the resulting solution was heated slowly to room temperature and reacted for 6 hours. The reacted solution was washed with distilled water, adjusted to pH 8 to 9 by adding saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, extracted with organic solvent, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered and distilled under a reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (595 mg, 75%).
