Reaction Steps

One embodiment of the invention, in a method for the preparation of PALA compounds, comprises the steps of reacting L-aspartic acid with benzyl alcohol and p-toluenesulfonic acid to obtain L-aspartic acid, dibenzyl ester p-toluenesulfonate, reacting the L-aspartic acid, dibenzyl ester p-toluenesulfonate with triethylamine, adding phosphonoacetyl chloride to produce PALA dibenzyl ester; and separating the PALA dibenzyl ester from unreacted phosphonoacetyl chloride. The PALA dibenzyl ester is separated in any suitable way. Since it is insoluble in water, the PALA dibenzyl ester and unreacted phosphonoacetyl chloride preferably are separated by washing the reaction mixture with water to remove the phosphonoacetyl chloride.
