Procedure

In 30 ml of water was dissolved 3.1 g of p-dimethylsulfoniophenylacetate methylsulfate prepared in Synthetic Example 3, and 20 ml of an aqueous solution of 1.64 g of phenylalanine and 1.4 ml of triethylamine was dropwise added thereto under stirring at room temperature. The reaction mixture was further stirred for 12 hours at room temperature and adjusted to pH 2 by adding 2% HCl. The aqueous solution was extracted twice with 50 ml of ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water, dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure, and ether was added to the obtained residue to afford a white crystalline product.
