Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 14672235, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.66 g of (R)-(-)-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid in 10 ml of a 2N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution were added 5.5 g of 3-phenylpropionyl chloride and 15 ml of a 2N-sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with stirring under cooling at the same time. After adding, the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature, and then the reaction mixture was washed with diethyl ether. The mixture was acidified by adding hydrochloric acid. The acidic mixture was allowed to stand for 30 minutes, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to obtain 4.06 g of (R)-(-)-3-(3-phenylpropionyl)thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid. (yield: 76.5%)
